      I worked as a social worker in hospice m. What I recommend is to get the spy cameras which are available on iOS or android and have ur family or a liscenced “provider, inspector etc” to see if the patient is not being abused. In the USA if someone is not able to provide for themselves there are agencies who take care of ur finances.

    2014, I was diagnosed with Degenerative Brain Disease. My father died in 2014. A cranial autopsy revealed frontal temporal dementia. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2015. My older brother and sister are having cognitive difficulties. January 2022, I went on Ketogenic diet, ate one 2k calorie meal per day (meat, fish, eggs, non-starch vegetables) over 4 hours, fasted 20 hours a day, walked 8 miles every other day. October 2022, lost 73 lbs, got off 7 medications I had been on for 20+ years and had best blood test results ever. Two years 9 months later, I still follow the same lifestyle. I’m doing so much better cognitively. Alzheimer’s/Dementia is now considered type 3 diabetes. Consider changing what you eat and your level of exercise as a potential defense against diseases.

      Well done discovering and persevering. I have found a source of fresh cold pressed flaxseed oil with an excellent Omega 3 to 6 ratio. It is one of the best value oils I have found. Understanding the Western style diet, including Thai food, is very heavy on Omega 6 the principle is to balance it with increased Omega 3, which reduces inflammation, which as you clearly understand is the basis of much disease. I have been on the key search in diet for the last two years also. My own recent discoveries have help me enormously, with arthritis related pain and a variety of other conditions. I spend 1000 baht per month on 1 L of flaxseed oil and that's all the 'medication' I take. It's also delicious.

    British families are sending elderly relatives with dementia overseas to Thailand in a small but growing trend. Researchers visiting private care homes in Chiang Mai have found eight homes where guests from the UK are living thousands of miles away from their families, because suitable care in their home country was impossible to find or afford. Thailand already has a long history of medical tourism and it’s now setting itself up as an international hub for dementia care. His getting well by giving the Thai lady helps for informing her about the waters & understanding adjustments are so great. He and she are getting well by following the ways she's going to follow his way as a thanks for taking care of him too.

    My father lives in Bangkok. Had a stroke 4 years ago and is disabled. Me and my sister hire two caretakers to take care of him 24/7. They have 12 hour shifts and do everything. If he was in the USA, he would be in a nursing home.

      May I ask-when a person can no longer handle his/her money, can one set up a TRUST. FUND (revocable first) with a major bank in Thailand (Thai or Foreign bank)? Do you know any expat with that situation? Can a non citizen or non PR of Thailand set up such a Fund for his/her family member in Thailand? 🙏🍁

    • @mimosa9638

      With time the burden of care will become heavier. Pen’s experience, skill, and compassion will allow her to MANAGE the care very efficiently. Pen should have part-time helpers who will learn from her and assist her. It will take a team to care for an elderly with cognitive issue, else Pen may be burned out, her health may be affected and the quality of her care may decline.

    I retired her to Thaland 8 years ago with my Thai wife (of 50+ yrs) after her diagnosis of alztheimer/dementia. She has been in a demenyai hospital now almost 4 years in BKK. Costs all inclusive of consumables is 20000 a month, INCLUDING - 24hr qualified care, meals. So a private carer is not really sufficient for a patient with later stages of the disease. One care cannot be with her 24/7. Not all homes in Thailand are expensive.

    There seems to be some confusion over what Pen said about the costs for a carer, around the 9:00 to 10:30 point. She did NOT say that she was paid 15,000 a month as some seem to think. What she said was that carers cost from 15,000 a month for a part-time carer to 60,000 for a full time nurse, and that she's a full-time, live-in nurse so gets twice what a part-time carer does. She blurred this over slightly, and I'm not so sure about her nursing qualifications, but at a conservative guess she gets a minimum of 30,000 a month plus meals plus some expenses such as petrol.
    That matches what some 'carers' I know get who've either gone to Chiang Mai to work in nursing homes or who work privately, live-in, and with what a qualified nurse gets in a state hospital, for an 8 hour shift, at around 30,000 baht.

      He only gets 46,000 per month, 30k to her 6k rent. that leaves 10k pm for everything else.

      @@galdessa1 It was actually 9k for rent and utilities, leaving 7k for "everything else" - food for two, gas, petrol, Ph water from 7-11, visa, medical costs, etc.
      Good luck with that.

      Hello This is Vincent
      I see from your comments that you wish to understand how I can live on $1420 a month in Pai, Thailand.
      I do not keep track how I spend my money, but at the end of a month I have some extra to save.
      I pay 9000B for rent and I do not pay Pen much. She take care of me out of kindness of her heart. I just pay for us to live a simple and comfortable life. We take care of each other.

    As far as water goes technically you need to run a RO filter to remove these forever chemicals and microplastics.
    Ideally with with pre-filters for efficiency then remineralize at the end of the process

      When I said how much it cost for caretaker. I talked about general here in Thailand and my prices for general also, but with Vincent who has a great heart and helping a lot of people out here. I don’t charge him a full price, I do way a lot less as a friend ( good friends. Good hearts and human being not for a business ) and we help each another for healthcare needs. And yet both of us wins❤ most important for us is spiritual paths that why we help each others and we both try to helping others people as much as we can help🥰 thank you. By the way I am Pen.🖊️

      @@rungnapawitchayanaratip822 Sorry, but Vincent's not in a "care facility", which is what the question was about and what I was replying to.
      And I'm afraid the figures you gave don't add up any more than the ones in the video did.
      He can't get a retirement extension for 1,900 baht a year, even with your help, with less than an overseas income of 65k per month, which he doesn't have.
      (Edit: unless he has more than 800,000 sitting in the bank here instead)
      You can't have a "good diet" for only 50 baht per person per day however much cooking you do yourself, unless you have a farm and live off it.
      I don't see the point in arguing about this as it simply isn't possible.
      2nd edit: I think I've now understood the situation, and I honestly don't think it's in anyone's interest to go over this.

We have 6 large bottles of water delivered regularly, they take away the empties and obviously reuse them when they are refilled and it's very cheap.

      With the water, it's all about keeping one's blood at the correct "Ph" level. I've read that the bottled water has a low (I think) Ph level and drinking too much can lower the blood Ph level, potentially leading to health issues.
