- Jacob was able to go shopping on his own, exchange money and make choices at stores. Now he is no longer able to!
- Jacob was able to walk at least three miles per day….He pushed his own wheelchair and used it for safety so he would not fall.
- Jacob was able to go out by himself, use cross walks. He went to visit the nearby shopping center, while confined to his wheelchair. That was when he was in Bennett Valley, CA.
- Jacob made intelligent choices concerning his diet. He even has good style when he chooses his clothing!
- Jacob was able to phone his doctor, talk about his medications and pick them up from the pharmacy.
- Jacob took his meds diligently, was never denied them, or refused to take his medication.
- Jacob used to have and manage his own ATM bankcard and his own bank account.
- Jacob used to have money left to him from his deceased father, which has been "taken" by Oregon and or his guardian.
- Jacob used to have Medicaid. DHS in Oregon, Jacob’s social worker and his doctors at the time, denied him a type of Medicaid that would give him access to TBI providers. In addition Jacob's MEDICARE has also been compromised. Currently Jacob is again at Oregon State Hospital in Portland, which is a paid by Jacob’s MEDICARE
- Part A.OSH keeps Jacob in their facility in order to receive his MEDICARE as well as Federal Assistance.
- The program he is subject to attend is the same program Jacob has been to during the last two years.
- Jacob used to be able to get treatment for his TBI. Oregon State Hospital is denying Jacob’s TBI, no evaluation has been performed since the State of Oregon, without sending jacob to a qualified TBI specialist, has conveniently determined that Jacob cannot ever be rehabilitated for his traumatic brain injury.
