People who have a disability that prevents them from moving (temporarily or permanently, chronic or one-time), how do you fair with living alone?

posted 5 months ago

This question is rather specific, so I know it’s not going to get many answers, but any answer is appreciated.

I’m thinking about living alone, but I’m worried about getting certain issues. I’ve already talked about it to my doctor, but I also wanted to get answers from people who have went through it.

I’m mobile but with limited mobility and strength and it leaves me unable to take care of simple tasks such as taking out/in the trash bins, do laundry (stairs), etc. I wouldn’t be able to live alone without a carer coming to help me at least a couple days a week.
