Budget forces quadriplegic to enter home
Iowa City report on Ken Kendall a 26 year old quadriplegic forced by a funding crunch to move to Harmony House Health Care Center in Waterloo for 90 days. Kendall said the move felt like jail and, though voluntary, was the only option. His monthly care subsidy of 2374 falls far short of the roughly 7000 needed. He relied on volunteers and one paid worker earning 1000 monthly for essential aid while seeking a fully funded home care plan.
