Some questions to ask yourself might be;

Can I handle being alone if I'm dressed and fed and in my wheelchair?

Can I drive my powerchair myself?

Can I use a cathrator or diapers instead of needing to be taken to the toilet
every time?

Just what can I do for myself once I am up in my chair?

Can my helpers prepare water jugs and food for me, so that when I am hungry
or thirsty I can feed myself, or get a drink myself?

How long does it take me or my helper to get me dressed and breakfast in the
morning?

What times are good to be by myself? Say for instance, maybe 9-12 and then
1-5.
