there are so many living situations... sheltered care, small groups with a leader who helps manage the household, room mates with a room mother or foster adult care. Nursing homes, etc etc... If you find a few are near you, see if you can visit, just to get a feeling for what that situation is like. The more you explore, the better you will feel about your alternatives and the arrangements that are possible in different places. It will be easier to make decisions if you can get information about the situations on offer. Take parents or caring friends with you and take notes (record into a phone) anything you observe that might be really good, really bad, needs more explanation, etc. There are some really nice adult living assisted care homes going up in my community (NE lower MIchigan) right now. Government help is possible too, if you are on disability. Your own small apartment and a food court/ small kitchen/ areas where people can meet like a huge living room or social area. some have libraries, exercise rooms, media rooms.... So much depends on where you live and if you are willing to relocate to places that might be far from home but that offer better support for your struggles while allowing you to be as independent as possible. Cheering you on.
