Caregiver shares more
DuluthGA:
As a final note...
I just would like to pass this along from the President and co-founder of the National Family Caregivers Association:
Caregiving isn’t just my reality. Someday it will be yours – either as a caregiver or a care recipient. We are all in this together.
Also, I have found two interactive forums specifically for caregivers.... one is directly related to those of Alzheimer's patients at: http://alzheimers.ning.com/ The other is for caregivers in general at AARP's site: http://community.aarp.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=rp-fhl&nav=messages&msg=7344.1

Great. Thanks for the links Janice.
My mom has been in a nursing home for a month or so now and is settling in I guess. But her medicaid was denied (she is 80) and her husband has to buy a new car, furniture,etc. to get rid of some money-can't give it to us!! He had to pay in full the Sept. "rent".
Trust me, I never would have thought they had too much money. They live in one of those -not quite trailor but not quite house-type homes. They had 1 vehicle and never took vacations. So not only dealing w/ realities of loved one but the nonsense w/ the government!!
We went on the Alzheimer walk yesterday. My town raised over 25,000$. Maybe soon, the Lord will allow us to cure this horrible disease.
I just needed to vent a little.

Sorry to hear about your Mom and what you are seeing about all the nonsense w/ the government!
The world system is Antichrist I believe.
Prayers for your strength and peace through the challenges you are facing.

Thanks for the links Janice; I will check them out.
Gena, that sounds insane, having to buy a car etc to qualify for medicaid. It's a crazy world.
DuluthGA:
I HEAR YA GENA... and I feel for all your family involved with that lousey situation, but that is the way it goes...
Been there and done it and don't even wanna look back. So sorry... but the good news is this, your mum will most likely live quite some years longer and this, over time, would be depleting by very large chunks their [proposed savings plus savings by liquidating the house] otherwise. Best to go with the flow for the longterm benefit. I don't know what the going rate is in your area, but here nursing homes here are averaged at ~6.4k/mo. No joke. Chunk o' change.
The other good thing is they [the Feds] allow her husband to keep the house. :)
I pray you a conquering spirit! Do not despair! :)
With love,
Janice
