As I've stated in earlier posts, the costs of caring for those with dementia is far more expensive than caring for those with other debilitating circumstances, such as cancer, or other illnesses which can be terminal.
In researching more on this topic, I came across the following from the PBS Newshour, which highlights a great deal of the problems. This leads to questioning why MediCare isn't picking up some of the cost for the families. While working with an Elder Law Attorney, you may find your family could use Medicare after a spend down, but only then, which means there are no further monies available to the patient to pay for their care. Should this really be the case??
Watch the following video (a tad over 6 minutes) and decide for yourself.
