How can we get financial help to put Aunt into an Alzheimer's facility?

I have an aunt with Alzheimer's that is progressing very fast. She lives on her own, but now she needs assisted living, Money is limited?

I'm currently using United healthcare (medicare) which covers up to $1,080 and medicaid also helps with the costs. I found that the easiest way is to talk directly to the facility of your choice and they'll help guide you thru the process as well as inform you what Government helps are available.

Hi bls202,

There are two great articles written by AgingCare.com editor’s that were already posted in our community. We thought this might answer your caregiving question.

and

We hope this helps.
