@oprah - that is indeed complicated with wanting to move to be nearer to better mental health care with your diagnoses of borderline personality disorder, atypical dementia plus the bipolar, yet having made the significant financial investment in the independent continued care you've been living in for the last three years. I imagine it's really hard that you've not ended up liking the facility and feel that there is no concern or understanding for mental health there. I can understand that you would feel trapped.

I'd like to call on some other Connect members who may have some input for you on navigating this situation, like @johnbishop @IndianaScott @kateia @julesa @gailb. @healthytoday may also have some thoughts. Do you know what your options are, given the commitment you made financially, etc., at this point for moving to another facility that might be stronger in mental health care, @oprah?

Hi @oprah -- You might want to contact the NAMI HelpLine to see if they are able to offer some advice or suggestions. It's a great organization with support groups around the country.

Thanks, Lisa.
I am trying to wrap my head around all this. Need to do much more research. Yes, I am aware of my financial option here and will request a return of the entrance fee as I believe they have violated my contract. Wish "they" cared more about the people here more than the $$, but most likely not. I'll keep trying.
