Windyshores, thanks for that - all really well thought out advice. I have no idea of his medical history other than stories I have heard of psychotic episodes in the past, no idea of the meds and no idea why he doesn't have issurance - nor why he hasn't or if he hasn't been guided in getting it in the past. You have provided me with a variety of questions to ask his current medical team - they were, as I have found medical teams dealing with really tough situations - really fantastic. But I still have a lot to learn, about Joe's situation and about bipolar situations. And then we will see if I can help in any way.

First priority is getting insurance! Medicaid seems more than likely.

I should add that I worked for quite a few years in the largest homeless shelter in Boston. I am not sure what it is like in Florida but the shelter staff where I worked were dedicated and all had master's in social work. There was also a nursing clinic and liaison to MD's, psychiatry and inpatient treatment when desired by the guest.
