Caring for Alzheimer's

Posts Tagged ‘money’

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness month, and a walk will be held in Ottawa to raise money for research on the disease.

If I do not have kids and want to make sure someone takes care of me if I get alzheimers how do i do this?
I want to make sure that the person or agency taking care of me does not take me for all my money. Also What type of insurance plans or long term plan is the best for making sure I can afford an in home nurse.

i am writing a paper about my start up company that will be selling shirts to raise money for Parkinson’s disease. I would just like any information I can get from you so I can hopefully quote it in my paper. Thanks alot.

I am 48 yrs old handsome, average height, Italian man and I have had the worst luck with women, I am still a virgin, in all aspects of the word, never held womens hand, never kissed a women, and obviously never had sex with a woman, I come into contact with alot of women but just keep spinning my wheels. just can’t seem to ever be able to close the deal. I recently took care of a elderly parent (mother) w/ Alzheimers for 8 years, (luckily she passed away) worst thing I ever did. resented her and everything about her, put my life on hold and now I am paying the price. I blame her for my lack of being able to connect with women, I hated this women since I was 10 years old, tried to burn my hands on a gas stove because I stole some money. Ever since then I vowed to make her life a living hell. I love women and I don’t transpose my anger for my mother on them. I always treat them with respect I don’t swear around women, I alway tell the truth and I haven’t stolen anything since I was 10. So why am I invisible to women??
BTW I am not Gay and am not in deniel about being gay I am 100 percent hetrosexual.

I dont even know where to start really…it’ll be easiest to explain the financial problems first. I live with my mom whos a single parent who dropped out in 10 grade because she had to take care of her mother who was gaining alzheimers. So she has no education whatsoever, she got married had me and my "dad"commited suicide when i was a baby so there goes more money lost. I’m 16 now and we’ve been living off social security my entire life we’ve NEVER lived anywere nice it’s always been in the projects or a trailer, then she get’s re-married to some closet faggot when i was 6. He could never hold down a job so we ended up living with my grandparents….He ended up pulling me out of school in the 4th grade and he moved us out of state where we lived in a tent for 6 months………..Ended up taking what little money we had and leaving my mom and going back to his ex wife.

I got in some legal trouble back home so we left the state when my mom finally had a good paying job there 9.50$ an hour cleaning condo’s….She keeps holding that over my head and won’t just forget it. So we move here and i decide i want to go back to school and try to graduate my last 2 years (im 16 now) but oh of course not because by the time school starts we’ll be moving to some other place because she’s not making an effort to get a job whatsoever….. She’s "trying" to go back to school now to which also screws me over because if she’s going to school i won’t be able too…She says when i move out when im 18 she’s gonna be homeless living under a bridge cause that’s when she loses social security…I just don’t know what to do ive been so close to commiting suicide i just can’t go through with it because if i do she’ll kill herself too. I just wanna get away from all this you know? I want to just run away and get away from all this but if i leave i think she’ll kill herself. I can’t get councelling or anything i just need to know what to do, should i run away it seems like everyone elses life comes before mine please help

Hi. I’m 16 years old and right now I have a lot on my shoulders. First, I have school and grades to concentrate on, but right now they are dropping a lot. See, I take care of my grandma. She has dementia/Alzheimers and I don’t know if you have ever known anyone with that or taken care of them, but it can be really hard and stressful. My day consists of getting up, getting ready for school, getting my brother off to school, and then leave to go to school. Try not to let my grades drop, then come straight home, cook dinner for my brother, and leave right after that to go over to my grandma’s house. Stay over there until six. I take my homework with me and try to do it over there, but it never works. She asks me the same question every 2 minutes, and I have to clean her house and cook her dinner as well, while my grandpa is at work. Then I come home, and feed my dogs, and finally eat dinner, get my shower, and try to finish as much hw as possible. It’s hard and stressful, and I will admit some days I just break down crying because of all of it. I don’t ever have time to hang out with my friends, and on the weekends, I try to catch up on work, and then go out and run errands for myself. I also babysit my cousins 2-3 times a week, to get some money and help my aunt out. So instead of coming home from watching my grandma at 6, I leave and go straight over there to babysit until 10. that’s when she gets home. A lot of my friends are getting mad at me and started not talking to me, because I haven’t had time to spend with them, and say I have too much on my shoulders. Sometimes I feel I should just drop out of school because my grades are going from straight A’s to straight D’s and a few F’s. I don’t think my teachers understand what all I go through at home. My mom has depression and can’t do much, so I basically run the house. Along with all that, I also have health problems, which stress only makes worse. I am hypoglycemic, and if I skip just one meal, I can pass out, which it’s really easy for me to skip meals a lot of the time, because I’m so busy, and I’ve just skipped breakfast before, and actually passed out at school. I also have anxiety which stress also makes it worse because it gives me anxiety attacks. I’m not on any meds right now, but I’m considering it. Anyways I know this is long, but I’m in desperate need of advice. What should I do? Continue doing all of this, or do I just need to focus on school. If I stop taking care of my grandma I don’t know who will be able to. Please help. I really need some advice here, so stressed out.

My sister has been verbally abusive to me all my life. It got worse 6 years ago when my dad had a stroke and I became POA. I’ve taken care of all of my dads bills and caregiving. Unfortunately his 1st caregiver who he adored took advantage of him. She coarsed him into doing a reverse mortgage on his home. She took a lot of money. I had her arrested as I had a lot of proof. My sister blames me for this unfortunate circumstance. She accuses me of stealing my dads money. She tells me I am going to prision. She has left me 40 verbally abusive messages in the past two weeks. I wont listen to them, I delete them. The caregiver my dad has now is wonderful. She has been with him for 3 years. My sister lives 300 miles away and never visits my dad. She recently called APS on my dads caregiver because she says she is worried about his care. She doesn’t listen to one word I say. She came to visit my dad back in June and took him to a bank so she could take money. He was mentally incompetent to make financial decisions at that time and I have a letter from his doctor. I’ve changed my phone numbers in the past. How can I get her to leave me alone.

I asked at ss about custodial caregiver and I did not get any response.My husband is totaly dependent on my care, he has heart problems, problems walking,and on dialysis three times a week. I need some help with gas and up-keep of my vechicle.We both draw a check(SS) but does not go far.No money left over for a trip around the block. Iam 63 years old and hes 64. I lost my job after 36 years to overseas stuff and was not prepared for all that happened to him and I’m totaly stressed out. I have NEVER ask for help before and I hate to now,but for his care I will.We have an OLD house thts soooo cold ,gas bills that are out of sight , he sits infront of an electric heated to stay warm.We work hard to keep bills at a mim.Our church bought the last tank of gas. I am able to work ,but cannot leave him! Any response welcome

Would this be ok to have this 2nd home go in to foreclosure? We bought my parents home 5 years ago so they could have money for caregiving/nursing home. We paid 0,000 and mo payments are 00. They lived in it up until 2 years ago, we put the home on the market for 0,000 for quick sale per real estate person, then market fell out, It is on a lake, very nice area, underpriced for other homes, I have been thru 4 realtors, we currently have it for 5,000, no one wants to buy anything regardless of what they say, we tried to rent it and have to evict the tenant, no payments, We have run out of our life savings to try and keep this on the market to sell, We live in Florida the home is in Washington State. The cost of maintaining the home, lawn care, elect, water and sewer runs 0 a month on top of the 00. I do not know what to do anymore, we don’t have any more money to put in something that we don’t use and can’t sell, We own a company – how would this effect us if it forecloses? … HELPFUL ADVISE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

A credit card company turned over a delinquent account (about ,000) to a legal firm who sent a letter to me, his son, stating that they will be seeking a judgment.

My father has been in a adult care facility for about six years – he is 92 with advanced Alzheimer’s. His wife died last year and she was the only one using the credit card since he was admitted. The credit card was in my father’s name and my step-mom had power of attorney. I have recently been appointed as his guardian and conservator.

Currently, my father still gets Social Security and a pension. The cost of the care facility (,500/mo) and his medications (0-500/mo) utilizes all of this money. He has about ,000 in savings which is slowly decreasing to make up the difference. He has no other assets.

What can happen under these circumstances? Can a judgment be used to garnish his pension and/or Social Security? Can the courts ruling force payment from his savings? Is there any legal ramifications towards me as a conservator if I do not pay?
