[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The next step is more hired help, and figuring out an eventual move.[/quote] OP here: As you can imagine they don't a lot of resources and live in an early with limit support options. While we were visiting they did mention they had reached out the council on aging -which could assist with meals on wheels, driving to appointments etc. But day-to-day care seems more relevant at this point. I guess part of my question should have been - do they need the primary care physician to note these declines in order to gain access to a memory care facility? [/quote] It probably doesn't matter too much if they can't afford it. [/quote] If they need memory care, they would spend down their existing assets and medicaid would kick in after that.[/quote]
