When I refuse to go to appointments my pdoc comes to my house. Intellectual disability team = more holistic.

I’m from a small town… Intellectual disability services are small. My IBS tends to play up when they are trying to put me on a community treatment order (CTO) they then come to my house with AAMP.

I’d feel very uncomfortable if my pdoc made house calls.
I just see her via telehealth sessions.
I’m fine with this.

No, never.

Before the pandemic I would go to their offices. During the pandemic it has been phone calls.

@Wave I was wondering why you feel uncomfortable with a visiting pdoc?

I live in a group home so have a separate office on the complex. I would never let a pdoc in my bedroom.

My house is a disorganized mess, I wouldn’t want her seeing this.
But I’m glad it’s working out for you @bobbilly.

Maybe I’d get used to it.

@Wave my bedroom is a complete mess. On the depot and sleeping 16 hours a day don’t give me too much time to clean or motivation. I’m lucky that the staff clean downstairs or it would be worse.

With Covid I’m uncomfortable with people coming over the house.
I don’t feel comfortable with my case manager coming over.
With Covid they are being very careful.
I stay in touch with them over the phone.

@Wave I have 24/7 support and staff wear masks when with services users. They don’t like this but management insists they wear them or they can get a disciplinary if caught with out them.
