Anyone interested in living in a group home for people with chronic illnesses?

Michelle, I'm very sorry for your situation.  See if your city or town has some social services to contact for some help and support.  You need to be careful about contacting people unknown to you over the Internet.  Also, please realize that it's against the rules of the Forum to post the same thing in multiple forums.  I wish you the best of luck.

Too late, Michelle!  You've already posted them.  The moderators in the other forums are in charge of what's posted there.  As I said, the best place(s) for you to make contact with others would be through your city's social services.  you might also discuss this with your doctor.  He/she might have some suggestions, too.

If it's in a warm climate, sure! However, my husband may not let me go so easily;p

Your dream is possible. Intentional communities (or communes as they were once called) of all shapes and sizes, rural and urban, are everywhere and there is a forum and site here in the UK called Diggers and Dreamers where people looking for others to join or help them start up a community or household.
I lived in an intentional community which I co-founded in 1986 in urban England. Effectively this was a shared household with 6 other co-op members where we all pooled energies and rescources. The way we bought the (7 bedroomed) house was to raise a tiny bit of capital for the deposit (we had other donatiions from benefactors) but formed a co-operative which became a legal entity and a charity. This way, we became our own landlords and co-owners with an equal stake in the community and say. Some of us were on benefits (the state paid for the mortgage repayment share via the legal entity of the landlord-as-coop (!) and some had jobs in the community. A lot of people became members over the years, but I had to leave the house because of becoming too ill to participate in running it (we put on courses and hosted festivals and other events).

I have seen communities which are gay only, christian...why not chronic illness for help and mutual support? It would be fantastic. So many people with this illness are isolated, lonely and needing support.

With all due respect to those people who suggest that social services are a great help - well my experience is that they aren't. Occasionally they can offer some support but it isn't usually very appropriate and their capacity is limited by our illness, their funding, etc, etc, and the agenda to try and get you back into work.

If you don't want the hassle of going down the coop/commune/legal route, you could advertise for house-share members online, all of whom you would vet and get to know a little beforehand to see if they were suitable living-with material, as people who would share a house with you. In the U.K. again there are websites for people looking for others to house-share with in the private property rental sector or lodgers. There is nothing to stop you trying to find like-minded others in the same way by putting out an advert.

Failing that, if you can't find people to start a house share with, to alleviate your loneliness, you could always try being a lodger in someone else's house. So long as they are quiet at least you would have some company now and again. There are a number of people looking for lodgers and you could be ideal since you're likely to be quiet, respectful and easy-going. There are options out there. Good luck!
