Hello,

My husband is considering a job opportunity in Huntsville, so we are reviewing relocation concerns.
One of the biggest - in February my mom was declared "unable to live alone" based on her psychiatric and physical wellness. As I am an only child, she will be making the move from CA with us.
Aside from needing to identify a good neighborhood and school for my 3 and 5 yr olds, I really need to know about any supportive services for people diagnosed with Bipolar/Schizophrenia.
Can anyone help?

Thank You!

Contact the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation office in Huntsville. Bring in a letter from a physician indicating your mother's diagnosis. You will be assigned a case worker who will make you aware of the facilities and programs that are available in your area.

Huntsville Hospital is one of the best in the Southeastern U.S.. I would also find a psychiatrist who specializes in geriatrics that is affilated with HH. He/she will also be able to help you.

I live in Birmingham and have an autistic child. You will need to get help on neighborhoods RE: good schools from our North Alabama members here and there are many fine ones indeed.
