[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to worry until I decided to be proactive. I have a "business class to Zurich" fund which is less than the cost of half a year in care. I take the SAGE test from the University of Ohio every 6 months. That way I can ensure I catch the "competent" window of Alzheimer's. At the first signs I will check out gracefully and not burden my family and lose a lifetime of assets. You have a pretty long window but most people do not want to know they have it, they are more concerned about losing their driver's license than losing their minds, so they just sink into oblivion. I got the idea after reading this woman's blog. It's and account of the wastefulness of Alzheimer's, completely unvarnished. http://www.deadatnoon.com/ [/quote] My plan as well. Cheers.[/quote]
