    My husband and I are in our 60’s and I tell him we need to save our money for end of life care. We sold our home in Arkansas and moved to Missouri to be closer to my daughters and grandkids. We built a house and should be able to sell it without a problem. We have pensions and savings but we don’t know how long we’ll live. Who knows what the future holds for us.

    Suppose you are 83 to late for insurance. I live with my son and daughter in law. I want to be here at the end. Watch my husband who had a stroke go from, home, hospital, rehabilitation and died of cancer in hospice. I hated that state smell and care but he was on Medicaid as we couldn’t afford private nursing.

    If you can’t afford to age at home, in place, you certainly can’t afford a nursing home! I speak from much experience after taking care of my mom who had Alzheimers and later my husband who had Frontotemporal dementia. It costs much less to care for them at home then to park them in a nursing home. They also got a lot more personal care from someone who loved them and were much happier to be able to stay in their own home.

    ALL COMMENTS/VIDEOS are regarding caring for ONE parent with dementia. I'm the ONLY CAREGIVER (& I AM 100% DISABLED!) who has cared for TWO PARENTS WHO BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT DEMENTIAS for 6+ YEARS! I have NO children, NO siblings, NOTHING, it has just been ME! My parents are in Stage 7 now, but have DIFFERENT symptoms, DIFFERENT health issues, DIFFERENT Sundowners probs, & on & on & on. The 1st 2-3 yrs (again me 100% disabled! And all they have had! Tho' there were others who did NOTHING!), I worked 90+ hours a wk, eating maybe 2 REAL meals/week, driving n2 my driveway & falling asleep immediately til my husband came out to get me, being so exhausted I'd fall asleep in the morning @ the drop of a pin, spilling my coffee all over my lap! There were nights I BARELY made it home-I was SO exhausted! AGAIN, I'M 100% DISABLED! There was a 6 month period I almost, or did, get n2 car wrecks from sheer exhaustion! No one in my husband's LARGE family undestood, nor TRIED to understand(!), nor helped in ANY way! Tho' I (we) have helped ALL of them in EVERY WAY, 10 adult grandkids, 3 50+ "adult children", & great-grandkids. Gave cars, pd 4 private schools, bought furniture for, sent $ to each month while they bought new cars & we (living without ANY, debt, driving used but nice cars pd w/cash, paying our mortgage off early, & ALWAYS, EVERY MONTH GIVING TO TRULY NEEDY PEOPLE!). We did without wants, buying ONLY needs, while all drove new, fanc.y cars, or had Nike shoe collections, yet they all had zero savings, til we finally woke up & said "NO MORE!"). But NO ONE EVER SPEAKS ABOUT A SOLE CHILD, USUALLY A DAUGHTER, CARING FOR TWO ELDERLY PARENTS WHO BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT DEMENTIAS! I've listened to & read all books, looked online, & found NOTHING! NO HELP FOR US CAREGIVERS OF 2!! I am in the last stage, Stage 7 w/my parents, BOTH parents-who both have VERY different problems, symptoms, issues, Sundowners, & on & on! I am 100% disabled & have lost ALL my health, joy, ability to do ANYTHING that brought me joy, since this hit me (like planting flowers, playing the piano, helping with our personal business, cleaning our home & we haven't had a vacation in 12 yrs - as b4 my parents we cared for another elderly family member who was a piece if cake & peacefully died @ home taking a nap, she had ALL her cognition til the end! But I have been utterly ALONE caring for my parents! Both w/different dementias! Today was HORRIFIC! But there is ZERO HELP FOR THOSE OF US DOING THIS! IT WAS 1 OF 10, NOW PROBABLY MORE! YET NO1 OFFERS HELP TO US?! I'm close to suicide as this is BEYOND the WORST of caring for just one! YET NO BOOKS, NO VIDEOS, NO HELP! Why! WHY!? I have chronic pain, Fybromyalgia, C-PTSD, Severe DEPRESSION, ADD, & MORE! Yet STILL, ALWAYS, ALONE, I've done EVERYTHING FOR MY PARENTS! And let my health go! I feel like I've been living in HELL for 6 years STRAIGHT & no one helps or cares! I know the stress causes my chance of dementia to go up (multiply THAT by 2!!), & I swear that I WILL NOT go down the road I've watched BOTH OF MY PARENTS go down!! Why, why, does no1 help those of use caring for 2 w/dementia? Do you not care, or see the DEVASTATION it does to ENTIRE FAMILIES, but ESP NEEDED!🥺😥

    Sounds good. The problem is the profiteering we have recently seen by the Medical Industry: specifically, politicizing our healthcare by requiring a vaccine that has proved suspect, for the treatment of a mild flu. I have some real issues with the control that the Medical Industry has taken, congruent with the hellishly bad job they did handling the ( planned) pandemic. What safeguards are in place in your system to protect individual rights against intrusive and/ or unnecessary, or even malicious treatment? Succinctly put, does your system make the individual patient MORE or LESS in control?

    Yes, you can get an idea from the Google reviews on the retirement care facility. I was just moved from the hospital to the care facility where I already noticed the low assistance from the employees, due to them being overindated with too many patients. the hospital recommended this place, but I have noticed and seen that this place is poor and unsafe environment due to my medications not being ready.

    One of the most difficult parts of planning ahead is no idea of which set of circumstances you will face. So many people today are sitting for 30 minutes in a planning session with a team..where members on that team disagree. The patient and/or family members are forced to make immediate decisions without understanding the conflicting views of those presenting options.
