Rogelio, their father, is incarcerated for 3 years for being in possession of a handgun by a felon. Rogelio was incarcerated at the age of 18 for drug possession. After release, he got sober and worked as a chef in a Cuban restaurant. At the age of 41, he was driving to work when police pulled him over and found a handgun registered to his cousin in Rogelio’s vehicle. Rogelio says that he did not know that the gun was left in his car. Sandrika, who now works as a manager at an Einstein Bagels, and is the sole provider for her family, says of Rogelio, “He was a very hands-on father. Very active. He’s a family man. He loves his family. I was spoiled. He used to iron their clothes, dress them, take them to school, to football practice. Now he can only call to wake them up every morning.” She continues, “I try to give them a normal life even though their dad is in prison.” https://isadorakosofsky.com/this-existence daily 0.75

Rogelio says that he did not know that the gun was left in his car. Sandrika, who now works as a manager at an Einstein Bagels, and is the sole provider for her family, says of Rogelio, “He was a very hands-on father. Very active. He’s a family man. He loves his family. I was spoiled. He used to iron their clothes, dress them, take them to school, to football practice. Now he can only call to wake them up every morning.” She continues, “I try to give them a normal life even though their dad is in prison.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/1537986437655-2X1TGZ7FQV3JUJLQIPUK/0057.jpg Projects Alysia, age 16, looks back as she sits amongst youth during a Catholic Mass on Sunday at the juvenile detention center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/1537986438015-YSQ74JJMQFTKUUOJ8B5Q/0058.jpg Projects Alysia, age 16, lies on her bed in her cell at the juvenile detention center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/1537986442014-YE5J8AHR31FBCQ3QAL4E/0059.jpg Projects Alysia, age 16, cries on the phone with her grandmother, as she tries to reach her mother who she has not spoken to since her arrest one week prior. “She just doesn’t care about me.

mascot at an Inland Empire 66ers game while Angie, her daughter, and one of her sons, Andrew, 18, record on their phones; Andrew’s girlfriend, Angelica, 17, sits beside Melissa, while Melissa’s cousin, Esther, 11, sits beside Angie, at San Manuel Stadium in San Bernardino, California. Melissa aims to learn skills in Braille and technology at the Lighthouse to then take into an associate’s degree program also offered to her through the Department of Rehabilitation. She hopes to eventually become a crisis counselor to aid people out of violent situations and into stability. Melissa credits her faith as the bedrock for her unwavering optimism. She has become increasingly connected to her church, which has helped her cope with her memories and ongoing daily stress. “God can do what no insurance can.” She meditates on the floor of her studio apartment and listens to the Bible through an audio player while her kids are at school. “It’s been a struggle. But I've overcome a lot of challenges and obstacles in my life to really just rejoice about where I'm at today in my life and my blindness.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/dc67e9a0-71ce-4cb9-90c3-ed42c6e5f8a5/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-34.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Mary, an aide, assists Ann in her bedroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/e8346bb2-e119-4e8c-81bb-a66ebc93db5d/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-1.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Angie blow dries Melissa’s hair in the morning. “She gets all happy for herself. And I get happy, too, because I know that stuff is what makes her really enjoy going to the doctor's office,” Angie says. She worries when someone other than her children accompany her mom and fears they would not guide her the way her children do. Ten years after losing her sight, Melissa made a decision to celebrate her blindness and increase her independence through training at the Lighthouse for the Blind, a nonprofit organization serving the visually impaired in San Bernardino. She craved connection with other people who knew what it felt like to constantly reach for the walls around them. There, Melissa held her first Braille book, made egg salad in a cooking class, and learned to use a smartphone. It was at the Lighthouse where Melissa met Scott, a man of a similar age, who was also taking classes; they began dating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/ee0b822f-f2db-4dbe-8063-ebdd16590fbd/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-7.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa rests upon a pile of clothing while seated on the floor of her closet after a stressful day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/e2c31f14-15b5-4ff7-9fda-950b3adccc12/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-12.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa sits in her apartment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/410fb7f6-3c7c-4250-a972-302544801ac6/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-11.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa sits at a table during a Braille class as her instructor, Arturo, reads Braille with her from the same page at the Lighthouse for the Blind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/0596e85d-f0f0-44f3-8416-1ab00d675b58/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-38.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann embraces Dani, an art instructor, while Juliet holds Dani's hand as they gather at a table at AbleArtsWork in Hawthorne. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/77153d67-0aab-4c9d-9e30-7b783e0cef54/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-22.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann and Mary, a caregiver, embrace at the group home where Ann resides in Hawthorne, California. When Evelyn unpacked Ann’s suitcase full of thick wool sweaters, she assumed that the newest resident of the group home in Hawthorne, California, originated from a cold climate. She neatly placed each sweater in a dresser, without learning anything more. Fifteen years later, Evelyn knows Ann intimately. But she still does not know her history. Ann has a developmental disability that impacts her ability to easily express herself through words. Ann has no living relatives. House aides Evelyn, Mary, and Queen, and the administrator, Darlene, are like surrogate family members. “We are her family,” said Mary, who has been a care provider in this home for 18 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/e7bda04a-f6d4-4ba9-8d53-5e5744462a27/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-30.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/b8d4711d-3e9a-47ee-9572-8ee4c9869071/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-3.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa sits in between Angie and Jacob on a bus to a transit center in San Bernardino, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/21a7ed63-4514-4aeb-a2db-f72e5d4e2079/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-44.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann sits at the group home in the late afternoon. Ann, now 72, is a keen observer who sits in the living room and watches the comings and goings of the house. She is the first voice to greet any visitor. She makes eye contact with a new or known face, delivering an emphasized, “Hello, how are you?” It is a calm and peaceful home with six adult residents with developmental disabilities and two caregivers per shift. Five of the six women are mostly non-verbal. But each resident makes her presence known. Norberta, an older resident with a distinct fashion sense, asks one caregiver in Spanish if her mother purchased her necklace for her. Juliette, one of the youngest of the group, paces around Ann, who continues to take in the movement around her. Ann loves babies and young children and sits by the window yelling “baby” as children are dropped off at a nearby day care. On warm afternoons, Mary, the house aide, takes Ann to the front of the house to watch cars, pedestrians, and clouds move by. “Look, Ann, a plane,” says Mary, as she runs her fingers through Ann’s hair, gathering each short, gray strand into a ponytail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/60007b7a-8f86-4de4-8163-736d3ac38202/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-15.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa stands in the kitchen while on the phone with a doctor’s office as Scott stands in the doorway about to walk his dog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/a1ae37e4-ab48-4e11-9309-04386198b9d0/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-4.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Angie walks at the transit center with her mother’s hand holding onto her backpack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/01e8d9e1-6149-4303-b2ca-d7bf1ce4a9da/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-5.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa walks down a hallway at the Lighthouse for the Blind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/6f2cebd4-2c3d-4f7b-8e2a-a1cb814671d1/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-23.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Angie looks to Melissa as they walk arm-in-arm at an Easter Day event at their church. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/f4e025b9-e820-49e2-8658-bca3e70aae6c/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-45.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann gathers in the living room of her home with neighbors Jill, Juliet, and Norberta as Queen, an aide, prepares the group to be picked up for their day programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/f908177a-77c8-4e5f-8473-f94e2c33b146/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-33.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann sits in the living room of her home. The home is funded through Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. For the most part, Ann’s health care providers all see her at her home. Her medications are also delivered directly to her. At-home services allow for minimal stress and disruption. “It is definitely the ideal model to have service providers be able to come into the house, especially when mobility is an issue and transportation is an issue,” said Darlene. Ann only needs to go to appointments at medical centers three times per year. Most Americans are like Ann: They would prefer to receive long-term care in their home or community. For many Americans, Medicaid eligibility provides the only opportunity to afford these kinds of services when they need them. Transportation is a major hurdle for Ann in getting to appointments. For Ann, an ACCESS ride — door-to-door transportation for adults with disabilities — is three times longer than a trip in a conventional car. However, there are also barriers associated with Medicaid. Residents of group homes who solely have Medi-Cal often contend with a dearth of service providers who are willing to see them. Providers are sometimes more willing to accept Medicare patients, given the higher payment rates associated with this insurance program. “She is lucky to have access to both [Medicare and Medicaid],” said Darlene, the home’s administrator. “It opens up some more avenues for her, especially if she wants to see a specialist.” Darlene prefers that Ann go out mainly for education or leisure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/1dfc706c-b381-4975-a965-2a5d19e2c77f/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-27.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa sits in a medical office as her endocrinologist appears from behind a door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/7276302f-2c95-42d7-b2b5-daa836c6c6c1/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-14.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Scott leans his head against Melissa’s neck as they gather at the dining room table.

Melissa even experiences communication breakdowns regarding her insurance status. Although she is fully covered, office staff often tell her she does not have Medicaid, which covers out-of-pocket payments, and request that she pay for her prescriptions. “I just pay my co-pays. If they say I have them, then I have them. It takes too much time to try and battle insurances.” Melissa and her children have changed housing multiple times each year, which also complicates their ability to get to work, school, and medical appointments. They struggle with communicating with the Medicaid-supported transportation providers like ACCESS or Medicaid-contracted Ubers. Melissa has missed rides with contractors because Uber drivers were not alerted to Melissa’s blindness and often arrived and left too quickly. At times Melissa has had to choose between organizing her own appointments and those of her children, often opting to prioritize theirs. The difficulty of transportation can require that she and her children dedicate an entire day for one medical visit, leaving during daylight and returning home in the dark. For Melissa, managing her care can feel like a full-time job in a two-system plan with limited communication between them. She receives dozens of thick marketing pamphlets per week for health plan alternatives but often does not open them. She worries that if she attempts to change plans, her choice may further complicate her care and take her away from her current doctors. “Some of the downfalls to being dual-eligible are trying to get both insurances to see eye to eye,” says Melissa. She likens her insurances to a pair of shoelaces where one side cannot create a knot with the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/de430dfb-570d-4272-851e-699876f0d581/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-41.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann sits on the back porch of her home. Ann’s strength is two-dimensional collage; she often cuts photographs of babies in various emotional states from magazines and pastes them in the center of the page. Her collage work expresses a layered language around innocence, hunger, femininity, and luminance. Her pieces contain recurring images of able-bodied women, food, children, and lightbulbs. As if constructing a collage of her own, care supervisor Darlene over the years has woven together strands of information to understand Ann’s needs and preferences. Darlene helps make decisions on Ann’s behalf, along with a case manager at Regional Center, an agency contracted through the California Department of Disability. When it comes to serious medical decisions, a physician through Regional Center is involved in the conversation. All people, but especially those with complex needs like dual-eligible individuals, need support to navigate their care. Studies from the Health and MIND Institute at the University of California Davis reveal that supported decision-making from trusted partners can provide a sense of self-determination and autonomy. The majority of dual-eligible enrollees who have an intellectual disability rely on designated representatives or family caregivers to manage their care. Ann often says only a few words each day; her main form of communication is touch. Her affection for others comes forth in her enveloping, locked embraces in which she wraps her arms around a person’s head, often for a few minutes. Physical closeness is Ann’s main form of expression with those she cares about the most, and she primarily embraces other women. One afternoon, Norberta, her neighbor from across the hall, wheeled herself past Ann. Happy to see Norberta, Ann reached forward for a hug. Norberta shook her head and quickly rolled herself away. Ann was not discouraged. She continued to smile. She knew someone else would want her embrace. “She is the love bug of the house,” said Darlene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/242bce88-0763-4313-b041-4738122ed3b3/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-8.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa chats and has morning coffee with other participants of the Lighthouse for the Blind in the facility’s main gathering room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/2153ea17-d590-4d18-835b-4defa25426ee/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-24.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa prays with hands in the air at a church altar with Scott, who stands behind her; they receive a blessing during an Easter morning service at the church Melissa and her children attend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/9bf0a634-a4e1-4528-b6d0-bfd4b0a4c128/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-42.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Dennis, a nurse practitioner, evaluates Ann during a monthly health visit at her home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/62be228a-e39f-43c0-868b-03f1b179cf2e/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-19.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa and Scott stand side-by-side at the entrance of Empire Bowling in Redlands, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/6f046084-4654-409f-99c1-cc84aa04824a/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-37.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann sits with participants during collaborative painting. Ann’s wellness isn’t only about her health care, but also about the activities that bring her joy and stoke her creativity. Every weekday morning, Ann attends AbleArtsWork, an art and music day program for adults with developmental disabilities located in a converted warehouse. In a studio with piano, drums, and a record-covered wall, Mollie, a music therapist, plays an acoustic guitar as she kneels in front of each participant and sings, “Hello, how are you today?” She adds their names in turn, followed with harmony singing. Ann reacts most enthusiastically to classical and jazz piano. During a remote class, Ann’s wandering gaze focuses sharply on her tablet when an instructor announces that he will play an excerpt of a Mozart concerto. Ann also participates in visual arts activities. “It is where I’ve seen her voice come out the most,” said Stephanie, Ann’s long-term visual arts instructor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/21f3bcce-dfc2-4778-834e-fe9c01c378f5/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-20.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa bowls with assistance from Sandy, the director of the Lighthouse for the Blind, during an event at Empire Bowling in Redlands, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/4b24130b-9c9c-4e1e-afe5-be11ea925770/isadorakosofsky_dualsv4_final-45-2.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Ann looks to the street from inside her home. The home is a subtle space of women empowerment where women providers are in conversation with women residents about their needs. During the last three years of the pandemic, these forged bonds were even more vital, as residents were cut off entirely from their outside routines and communities. The pandemic was particularly harsh for residents of intermediate and long-term care communities. Residents of the home who were easily stimulated preferred the isolation, while the lack of social connection stunted other residents, like Ann, who thrive on social interaction. Ann has lived in Southern California congregate living for at least 20 years. Prior to moving into her current community, she lived at a large developmental center in Orange County that took an institutional approach to those with developmental disabilities. The facility is now closed. Individual group homes allow residents to feel like they are living in a house, like anyone else, with support. When Ann moved from her previous residence, she almost never spoke. Most care providers did not know she could verbally communicate. “I had to convince people that she could speak,” said Darlene. Over the past 15 years, as Ann has grown to feel safer, she has flourished and resumed using her own voice. Care providers now interact with Ann through short phrases and facial expressions. They encourage her to use her words and make her own choices, starting with deciding between a red or pink shirt in the morning. “I’ve noticed that she’s really finding her voice,” said Darlene. “I think it's still a process, and she’s still growing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/216d2bc2-ac10-44b3-85a9-1ee1d79cdd52/image-asset.jpeg Projects - Make it stand out Melissa and her children Angie and Jacob wait for the bus in San Bernardino County, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/8c6c2498-699c-42cb-a8d1-9fdeff23aa9a/Isadora_Kosofsky_00002.JPG Projects - Make it stand out Michael Moore, a nurse, leans over to feel Emilio Virgen's chest at M.L.K Jr. Community Hospital in South Los Angeles, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9feea07e3c3a3714e2ec6c/89e3515c-e2d5-40bf-a43d-85b0a0637ae9/Isadora_Kosofsky_00003.JPG Projects - Make it stand out Manuel Flores, Gabriel Flores’ son, embraces him in the ICU.
