It just scares me that mom will live to be a 100.   Q: When is it time to get help at home? My loved one seems good one day then confused the next. I’m not sure how she will take it if someone comes to help.   Q: Should two parents, both with dementia, live together? Both of them are in early-moderate stages of their respective types of dementia. Is it best for them to stay together even though Dad (alone) could be in a State-run VA facility?   Q: Stepmother will not arrange care. What should I do?

This is wearing me out.   See More Questions Connect with an Advisor (800) 309-1098
