In the UK Supported housing means that people share a house and there is a regular person who is in charge and keeps popping in to make sure things are OK. This sort of accomodation is often used for people who have "special needs".
Assisted Living is for people who value their independence, but need some help with some day-to-day activities, such as dressing, bathing or taking medication. Exactly how much care is needed will depend on the unique needs of each individual.
We also have a system called Sheletered Housing, which is a residential home for people who need some assistance, as you say handlebars in the bathroom etc. They will also have a call button or cord if they fall and need to summon help.
However in the US it appears that an assisted living residence or assisted living facility (ALF) is a housing facility for people with disabilities or for adults who cannot or choose not to live independently. The term is popular in the United States but is similar to a retirement home in the sense that facilities provide a group living environment and typically cater to an older adult population
thanks, oh dear, do not want to givrup my independence, >.<
TAKE 5 wheeee won 19 lotto dollars,
A third day of battling with DAZ to install its content.
At least I have the plugins and shaders working (seemingly at least).
I will go on until I have all of my content working, I swear to kill anyone who damn comes close to my PC once I have finally installed my content properly.
Looking for a good pump gun to guard it -_-.
That advice worked. Thanks! I forgot about adding another item.

This weekend will feature an uncommon scene in the night sky as a comet glides past the Earth.
Comet 46P/Wirtanen is a small comet that has been growing brighter over the past few weeks.
People who missed the opportunity to see the comet on Saturday night will have another chance to view it on Sunday night.
Helper monkeys... Avoid the evil flying type and they are generally pretty useful... The big letdown is they generally only lend you one (or two at most, if you come up with a good explanation of what killed the first one)... My opinion is the whole minion experience is really limited by there just being one monkey. You could buy a whole bunch from a reputable monkey store, but you'd really have to train them yourself, which with diaper costs can be a bit much.
But a good monkey foot rub is something not to be missed.
i'm haunted by the voices in hospital pityful crying they want to go home
monkees dont love you, theres no concern for your well being, they busy cussing their eployer cutting back on their benefits, overworked due to cutbacks in staff, your more like to be a target of resentment added to their workload
no sympathetic monkeys, hardened hearts like the grinchiest of grinches
...yeah those brekkie elves, never dependable, just as bad as the dishwashing elves (must be the same union local). After washing up from last nights dinner, made a pot of rolled oats with honey, and several brekkie sausages. So sink is cluttered once again.
...me neither. I finally have a place of my own with no one else underfoot and I love it.
..sadly where i am we will miss it. Big storm coming in off hte Pacific with heavy rain and high winds that will last into Tuesday.
for what it costs for a pro bundle, least thery could do is cook up a meal,tend to a load of laundry
the whole reversing time to fix everything, so over done now
1- Yes, that sucks... I've been in the hospital a few times and that's a very sad thing... Luckily I have the ability to forget stuff on demand... My brain has limited storage space, so if I want to forget something, I think about thinking about it later on, that puts it in the back of buffer to be loaded later, then I immediately learn something new, which causes my brain that delete whatever is in the back of the buffer to make room for the new information.... Being dumber than a box of drunk hamsters can have its limited advantages.
2- I beg to differ, monkeys will love you, you just have to know how to romance them... I mean gain their loyalty... True funky monkey love is earned by mutual respect and intimidation... Or admiration... Or grooming sessions... I forget the protocols. I believe it was Thaddeus Scott-Baxter Wilmington who said "No man can be content in life until he knows the true love of a good monkey". I'm sure that's part of the reason he was driven from society in 1867, but... Actually there is no but... He had some serious issues... Anyway, if you are soured on the helper monkey idea, you could always go with helper squirrels... They really don't help much but they are cheaper to obtain (I can give you suitcases full of squirrels for free) and they make great sofa stuffing if they meet an unfortunate end... Which is pretty inevitable if you teach them to make you smoothies or shred documents.
Feel better... My helpful suggestions are getting worse.
neighborhood squirrels 1st line of defense against carnivorous dust bunnies, swatted by thick fluffy squirrel tails
I'll miss it too. Typical November through February weather here. i.e. Cloudy with occasional blizzards. Sun on special days perhaps twice.
i still have crying fits over what the hospital did to me. when they were taking my stuff away to prevent ne from leaving, they took my walker away from me, bastards took my frikkin walker away from me..
I did a dollar tree run today. I got some chocolate to stuff my mum and stepfather's stocking. I also got a screwdriver set for my stepfather as a stocking stuffer. I got my mum truffles as a stocking stuffer. I also got Misty and Oscar some cat food which was a small bag of nine lives. I hid it in my room even though I am not supposed to keep food in my room. Well, I am probably not going to eat the 9 Lives but I do not want to be tempted by either bag of individually wrapped chocolate, nor do I want to forget them.
We won't be seeing that with rainy skies tonight! OH, well.

frustrated to no end. mega sale where i could fi-nal-ly get a bundle i wishlisted for months or even years for amazing 18$ instead of 134$, adding a new release item i'd get for half the price... but 10$ in wallet, absolute zero on card/account, and check on the 19th only. so, for 3 bloody damned days, i lose the occasion of the year. yeah yeah, there's always another sale, 3D is not essential, blah - but it's my way to relieve stress, escape, and feel a bit of joy playing with my virtual dolls/bricks... (anyways, i lack all of the essentials too!).
playing, escaping the hamster-wheel thoughts that we're getting evicted me & all cats in about 3 months due to the house being sold with still no new abode in sight, forgetting the actual freezing temp except for bedroom in my unheated attic/flat where 3 nights ago there was ice on the inside of the kitchen windows, and soothing the chronic grayish sluggish mood alternating with distressed panic, both to be expected under those circumstances - among other things, because besides this there are so many things on so many levels that just don't compute.
i'm fuming, life sucks, and not in a good way. :(
I do keep fish food in my room in the open. The containers are sealed but still it is known that I have fish food in my room. Of course I do not eat fish food, nor do I eat cat food.
The staff is arguing loudly with a client. I am glad I am in my room, but I can still hear them.
Really sick of being in a wheelchair and doing the one foot hop on the walker to get on and off the toilet. My good ankle is getting sore now. Weeks of recovery ahead. (sigh)
Well, an alternative would be to be plumbed into the toilet permanently.
It would avoid any hopping but might necessitate acquiring some really good friends or robots to do chores for you. 
Bummer!
However, look at it this way. Since you are at zero now, that means that if you have been spending right up to the limit. If you had another card or more credit on the current one you'd buy the" bright shiny object", the "must have", the "thing d'jour and you'd be in even more of a pickle. 
That is soooo easy to let get out of control. That is the situation I find myself in at the moment. 
My budget has been running $100 over budget for the last 9 months and each month that shortfall had to come out of my savings which has now shrunk to dangerous levels. For me, the last three weeks of this month have been a period of forced frugality to try to end the year by at least finally not being over budget. I also get my check on the the 3rd Wednesday of each month so, on the 19th I will pay off my bills, and endure one more month of enforced frugality to finally get back to living a balanced life and start putting back into savings. If I'm really careful I can get my savings back to where it was 9 months ago, within 4 months. The problem for me, is the "bright shiny objects" that are the most dangerous. (Note to self: "Self, avoid on-line auctions and antique shops.")
Yeah, someone wise once said "Desire is the cause of all suffering." Knowing that, should help curb the intensity of desire.
Another wise someone once said "Life sucks and then you die". Knowing that, should make one either stop stuggling and end it all, or start swimming against the current as early as possible. The end is always the same, but it's what one does in the meantime that matters.
It's a shame that wisdom and behavior are such strangers to each other.
* Speaking of on-line auctions I watched a gorgeously wonderful carved 11 inch high jade "mountain" sell for $6000.
My desire was at record levels but my budget kept it under control. 
yeah.. i spend basically all my life saying "ah well, doesn't matter" every time - pretty much ALL the time - that i can't afford something i might want to buy / or can't eat or drink something i would like to taste (allergies/intolerances, plus no $) / or can't go some place further than this town (no $ for PT, no car, no bike) / or can't enjoy this or that activity (lots of reasons). so i curb my desire, i tell myself that material goods including the even less material virtual ones, are not important.
and i had to laugh at the word "savings". sa... what? i dunno how long i haven't saved anything. and this month i could only afford buying some 3D stuff because i got 1 banknote as a bday present, otherwise i scrap megacheap sales, lowest fastgrabs etc - if even.
also, not that it matters much to me since i've become quite reclusive by choice, but all the peeps i know IRL live somewhere else too, the last one just moved away. they're all in my ex-town now, where i hope our new abode might be near from (but it might just as well be even further - i'll take whatever solution presents itself). so much for "being with friends/family is more important than material stuff".
my life atm, besides enjoying the beautiful presence of the dear felines sharing my space, consists of cleaning various cat disorder forms, eat a very limited choice of stuff i'm bored to taste, occasionally & unwillingly shop miles away in a town i hate by bus/foot for the basics counting every penny, if the weather is warm and i'm really motivated (rare...) maybe take a walk (living between forest, pond & fields), and once those thrilling repetitive activities are finally done with, sit in front of my laptop and enjoy myself drawing 3D doodles (i'm not a pro, but a procrastinator who rarely finishes sth) or watching asian movies/series which i love to binge. side note, i'm yet far from pension age and while my health isn't peachy i'm not handicapped/challenged. i've given up giving the volunteer lessons i did a while ago for various reasons, and thanks but no thanks, since i'm not able to work any more i don't need to be "occupied/kept busy", keeping this dump in order & coping with daily matters is already enough... well, not counting the frenetic house search those last months of course ~
so renouncing has become a second nature - but from time to time, like yesterday with this sale, i bust a gasket, because i'm not a monk, and the only choice i've made impacting my life was to keep my growing (back then, not any more) feline family, none of the rest of the situation has ever been a choice.
but i totally agree about "life sucks and then you die" at the moment. i've not always thought like this, but right now, the word i use most daily starts with F or S.
You can make it! Surely it isn't the worst thing you've had to endure! I hope recovery time is shorter than expected.

My roommate wants me to go as I am supposed to wait outside at two pm. It is not 2pm yet. it is 1:49 pm. I just wanted to check the status of an order. Guess I need to get off this stupid computer so I can wait outside to see if she is on time. Then ride in the van until I am bored then get home.
