ADAPT (670)
I want to say to people who say they don't like ADAPT tactics: Do you really want our people out? Or are you sitting home saying, "Oh, those nursing homes shouldn't do that!" How many people are going to get free because you hold that opinion? What are you doing about it? People are turned off by the arrests, by our confrontational style. "I'm not going to do ADAPT-style confrontations" — we hear that a lot. If you don't want to be on the front lines but you do want to help, there's plenty to do: raising dollars so we can get to our actions, working with people in your community to make these issues known, forming your own group, bringing some attention to the issues in your own home town. We sure would welcome your help. ADAPT puts the edge on it, sets the margin. This is as far as we go, this is all we will take. We will not be moved. This article is taken from a conversation with Bob Kafka of ADAPT in Austin. The photographer is Toni Olin of ADAPT in Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee. You can reach ADAPT people at either of these tele-phone numbers: Colorado • 303-733-9324 Texas • 512-442-0252 [image] [no image caption]

[Headline] 300 activists protest at U.S. agency [Subheading] ■Increased funding for at-home care of disabled sought. By Meredith Schlow Evening Sun Staff Mike Auberger says he'd rather be jailed than placed in a nursing home. "At least I know when I get out of jail it's a seven-day sentence, a 10-day sentence," the 36-year-old quadriplegic said. "When you go into a nursing home, it's a life sentence." Auberger and approximately 300 other disabled activists from 25 states picketed outside the Health Care Financing Administration in Woodlawn yesterday, protesting the lack of national policy to fund personal attendant services. The protesters, members of American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, want 25 percent of Medicaid's $23 billion, currently budgeted "in favor of nursing homes, to instead be budgeted for the establishment of community-based national attendant service programs. Such programs, they say, would allow people with disabilities and the elderly to live independently in their own homes rather than in nursing homes. There are about 43 million disabled people in the United States, 1.5 million of whom would live in the community if attendant/personal assistance support services were available. Auberger, who traveled from Denver for the protest, runs a home health care agency that employs about 90 people and provides care for approximately 150 disabled and elderly people in Denver and Colorado Springs. [image] [image caption] By Bo Rader — Evening Sun Staff. Members of ADAPT block entrances to the Health Care Financing Administration in Woodlawn during protest. The fewer than half the states, including Maryland, have programs for in-home attendant services, according to Ellen Leiserson, an independent social worker who was previously program manager for the In-Home Aids Services for the state Department of Human Resources. Leiserson said that in Maryland, there are long waiting lists for those who wish to employ attendants. "My level of disability would cost $60,000" a year in a nursing home, Auberger said. "Using attendant services, it costs $2,000 per month." "We are not going to take it any longer," Wade Blank, co-founder of ADAPT, shouted through a speaker to an enthusiastic crowd. "We will not be ignored . . . we will come again and again and again until nursing homes begin to lose their funding and people are allowed to live in their own homes." A picket who identified himself only as "Bob," said that, while he isn't immediately in need of home attendant care, he doesn't know what the future holds. "I don't want to give up my house I don't want to give up my garden," said the full-time engineer. "I can't even visualize doing my job from a nursing home . . . they wouldn't even let me come and go without signed permission." [image] [image caption] ADAPT members block the sole exit to the HHS Disability Determination Unit at closing time Tuesday, April 30 [image] [image caption] Bob and Renate Conrad of Colorado Springs are dragged off their positions blocking HHS driveway Wednesday, May 1. ADAPT intends to pursue Sullivan until he sits down with the group and agrees to rewrite Medicaid rules. The group may be having some effect: Recently, Tennessee ADAPT was able to wrest from HCFA a waiver for "home based service options for older and disabled" Tennesseans which had been tabled as recently as a month before the Washington demonstrations. [image] [image caption] Police line up as ADAPT members wrap themselves around the 1.08-mile circumference of the HCFA/SSA complex in Baltimore on Tuesday and block its 35 doors. [Subheading] ADAPT protests at HCFA headquarters Over 200 ADAPT activists took their fight against nursing homes to the nation's capital in April. Their targets: The Health Care Financing Administration which doles out Medicaid money to states (and which insists on giving the bulk of the dollars to nursing homes) and its parent Department of Health and Human Services. Over 100 ADAPT wheelchair riders stormed the HCFA/HHS Disability Determination Unit complex in suburban Baltimore on Tuesday, April 30 and blocked the sole exit at closing time, forcing police to cut another road from the parking lot so employees could exit. On Wednesday the group took on HHS headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C. There were no arrests during the three-day action, and HHS Secretary Louis H. Sullivan continued to dodge the group. But that didn't stop ADAPT from making their point: that HHS redirect a fourth of its $23 billion budgeted for nursing homes to in-home services.

Photo by Willard Volz The Washington Times THE EVENING SUN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1991 [Headline] Disabled protesters b lock HCFA workers [Subheading] Demonstrators make a point about freedom. By Meredith Schlow Evening Sun Staff Ruth Stringfellow's car was only about 50 feet from the exit of the Social Security Administration and Health Care Financing Administration building when the group of dis-abled demonstrators blocked her in. "I almost made it," she said sadly, looking out toward Woodlawn Road. Yesterday, for the second day in a row, demonstrators protested federal rules that they say relegate many of them to nursing homes when they should be able to live on their own. The government, they said, should shift money in the Medicaid health program, which serves the poor and disabled, away from nursing homes and toward payments to attendants who can care for the disabled in their own homes. Protesters were members of the national group Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today. While Monday's demonstration was generally uneventful, yesterday's, which began just before 3 p.m., prevented employees from the two offices from leaving for several hours after their work day was complete. Demonstrators said they wanted to show able-bodied people what it's like to have the privilege of freedom taken away, something they say happens every day inside nursing homes. "It's the same kind of feeling -you can't leave when you want to. You need my permission," said Mike Auberger, who traveled from Denver for the protest. Although employees expressed anger and frustration over their in-ability to leave work, some said that they still felt respect for the protesters' cause. Most said that the demonstration was held in the wrong location, however. "I can understand what they're protesting about, but there's nothing we can do about it here — they should be where the politicians are," said one woman who declined to give her name. "They have a legitimate com-plaint, but I think they should be in D.C.," agreed Pauline DeVance. But protester Nate Butler said the Woodlawn employees are an "integral part of a system that's really oppressive." "I'm sympathetic to all these folks not able 0 get home, but this is a really miner inconvenience com-pared to the inconveniences suffered by those in nursing homes," he said. By 4:30, Baltimore County police had created a makeshift exit behind the building into the Knight's Inn parking lot, through which employees departed, one car at a time. Police were reluctant to arrest protesters because their disabilities make them more difficult to trans port and house, according to Baltimore County police spokesman Sgt Steven Doarnberger.

/CAPE COD TIMES THURSDAY, MAY 2 1991 [Headline] Protesters demand home-care funding [Subheading] FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON --- Disabled activists, including a small group of Cape Codders and more than 100 people in wheelchairs, blocked entrances to the headquarters of the Health and Human Services Department yesterday to protest policies that they said favor nursing tomes over home care. It was the third straight day of protests by the group. When police cars surrounded the group yesterday, some of them jumped out of their wheelchairs and tried to crawl under the police cars," Kent Killam, a program coordinator with Cape Organization for Rights of the Disabled (CORD), said in a telephone interview from Washington. Other activists tried to squeeze past the legs of police officers who stood in front of the entrances. There were no arrests. "To people like myself, this is a life and death matter," said Lee Sanders of Houston, who crawled out of his wheelchair and lay on the ground. "It's the difference between living in a nursing home and living at home." For most of the afternoon, access to the Hubert Humphrey Building was limited to underground tunnels that connect it with other buildings. Cars also were unable to leave the parking lot under the HHS headquarters building, just a couple of blocks from the Capitol. The protesters were trying to create an institutional-like setting, with people unable to leave the building or the parking lot, said Lisa Nikula, a CORD program coordinator. She did not attend the protest, but talked on the phone yesterday to members in Washington. "They tried to create that feeling everywhere they went, so people feel trapped inside a building and can't get out," Ms. Nikula said, comparing the situation to that of disabled people who are unnecessarily institutionalized. The demonstration ended about 6:30 p.m. and full access to the building was restored. The approximately 175 protesters, organized by a group called American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, or ADAPT, want the Medicaid program to redirect 25 percent of the $23 billion it currently spends on nursing homes. They want this amount, about $5.5 billion, to be spent on establishment of community-based attendant service programs that would give disabled people the chance to stay at home rather than enter a nursing home. Gail Wilensky, head of the Health Care Financing Administration, which administers Medic-aid, said many of the problems the group is angry about are not handled by the Medicaid program.

[Headline] Disabled Protesters Decry Lack of Aid By Eric Charles May and Debbi Wilgoren Washington Post Staff Writers A group of disabled people threw themselves from their wheelchairs to the ground in front of the Department of Health and Human Services yesterday to protest a lack of federal funding for home-care attendants. The demonstrators called for HHS Secretary Louis W. Sullivan to redirect Medicaid funding from nursing homes for the disabled to care provided by personal attendants, a change they said would enable more disabled people to live independent lives. "We're not talking about raising taxes, but [about redirecting money," said Mike Auberger, 36, of Denver. Auberger is a leader of the group that organized the protest, American disabled for Attendant Programs Today. He spoke to reporters after using bicycle locks to chain himself by the neck to the building, at Third Street and Independence Avenue SW. About 20 of the 110 demonstrators threw themselves from their wheelchairs and wriggled toward a barricade of police cars parked in front of the building. Six people threaded a chain through their wheelchairs and positioned themselves in front of the building's parking garage exit. "We'll make it obvious to [Sullivan] that we are serious," said Stephanie Thomas, 33, of Austin, Tex., as she looked out from under a white police sedan. HHS The released a statement saying it "shared the concerns" of the group, but did not have authority to change Medicaid funding, which is allocated by the states. Police dismantled the human blockade of the garage at 4:40 p.m. by cutting the chain with a bolt cutter and wheeling protesters away. The protesters held a news conference and then wheeled themselves toward the Federal Center Metro station in Southwest. Several motorists honked their car horns in support as the group rolled by.

News Briefs Baltimore, Md.--Two former adversaries, Baltimore's Mass Transit Administration (MTA) and ADAPT (Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, formerly Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation), recently found themselves working together. This represents a positive change from the days when ADAPT was protesting against the transit industry in an attempt to achieve accessible public transportation for people with disabilities. Since Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADAPT has shifted its focus from accessible transportation to attendant programs which foster community-based home care services. Recently, ADAPT members were in Baltimore to protest at the offices of the U.S. Health and Human Services Administration's Health Care Finance Administration. They needed transportation during their visit as well as for a follow-up protest at the office of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis Sullivan in Washington, D.C. MTA provided the ADAPT protesters with two accessible buses that have been converted to accommodate multiple securement positions for wheelchair users. Project ACTION Update Summer 1991 9
