Dementia care planning for peace of mind
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and is defined as a progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys memory and the ability to learn, reason, make judgments, communicate, and carry out daily activities. As the disease progresses, those diagnosed with the disease may experience changes in behavior and personality. These changes can be exhibited as paranoia, anxiety, agitation, hallucinations, or delusions. We can help you plan for the cost of memory care in the following ways:
Plan ahead for long-term care expenses
Estimate the cost of care and provide asset protection from the cost of nursing home or in-home care
Prepare legal documents
Explore available community resources
Provide care planning and case management to help caregivers alleviate stress and effectively manage the varying stages of the disease
