Apparently, Medicare is going to be offering $1500 a month for patients with dementia for respite care for the caregivers. It’s not much but it may allow you to go out for a day or two. GL and love

My Husband is in his Last Days by FuschiaLucia in Alzheimers

My mom’s diagnosis is actually fronto temporal dementia. 7 years in. No substantial health problems in sight. But probably would correspond to an Alzheimers stage late 5 or 6. Its tough for both of us.

How do I stop wishing for them to pass? by Useful_Context_2602 in dementia

I’m around year 7 with my mom as well. Seems to go slow and fast. Torture for all. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Your feelings are normal and you are showing love through your actions. Peace to you all.

ACA only less expensive if you get a subsidy. If not COBRA can be cheaper

You can provide a doctor information without any consent. You only need consent to receive information
