I don't know what to do !
I am a 30 year old female and still live at home with my mom and stepdad due to disabilities. I just got some dentures and they are to big for mouth . I can't even where them so I have been going around with no teeth . my stepdad has already took me 3 times . He has refused to take me again and mom can't due to an illness that requires her to use a wheelchair. I even suggested going on the medical van because they take you for free if you have Medicare. Is there anything I can due to get these things fixed help my mom said no to medical can because she wants some one to go with me.

If you have disabilities that affect you so you can not work, support yourself, live on your own, and you recieve a check from the state monthly to go towards your personal expenses each month, then you are also entitled to have a person from the Department of Social and Health services, the same place that handles food stamps, handles helps for the disabled. I did caregiving in the past for physicall6 disabled and the mentally disabled. Each was an adult and had a representative who met with them once a year to go over whether anything has changed for the better, worse or stayed the same and wanted me as the caregiver to be present. One of my duties as a part time caregiver was cleaning the home, planning or cooking meals, keeping track of any medications taken and re ordering them when needed and taking them to Doctor and Dentist appointments, also shopping. I don't know if you qualify if living with the parents but if you wish to live on your own, then you should be speaking to the DSHS social worker who is assigned to help you. If your mom is in a wheelchair, then she is limited physically by how she can help you. I was present for all my clients health concerns and could tell her doctors stuff she didn't remember to tell them herself. If your disabilities include mental ones, then it might be best to have someone with you but you would need to be assigned a part time care giver. If yours are only physical disabilities, then there is no reason for you to not go on the free medical transportation. Dentures aren't the easiest thing to fit for people. I know an older woman who has been twice already for refittings as the dentures she was given don't fit right so she began going around not wearing them until the Doctor gets it right. However, once the measurements are right, the Doctor will have that in his records so if they ever need to be replaced, it will be much easier. I don't know if you qualify for help but your Mom can do that and make the calls. Then you would have someone to go with you and take you to all your Doctor appointments. So let Mom see this.
