To make an informed choice about dementia care means researching all possible options before making a decision. Ask yourself questions like, "Who will pay for dementia care? Does my loved one want dementia care at home or in a nursing home? Does my long-term care insurance pay for elder care? How can I budget for dementia care when IHSS runs out? How much does dementia care on a live-in basis or hourly basis? What does it mean to be licensed, bonded and insured? What are the pros and cons of hiring a caregiver from a private ad vs. a home care agency?" Assess your resources and weigh your options before deciding on what kind of dementia care you want or can afford.
You can´t if it was made before the illness was officialy determent by a doctor.
