[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 3777745, member: 45783"] Sorry about your mom. My mom died of dementia with symptoms starting around age 75. Unless your family is wealthy & can afford private duty home nursing, you will be looking at placement in memory care or a nursing home. My advice is plan on placement sooner than later. In my personal & work experience, families generally wait too long to place the patient in a facility, thinking they can care for the patient at home. It puts an unsustainable amount of stress on the family. When it’s time for nursing home placement, the only insurance is Medicaid (unless you have private long term insurance) so you May need a lawyer to help with the spend down & home transfer to qualify for Medicaid.
