It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
You might have to go the guardian route with probate. As far as legal costs, in my area a trust is 8 K and guardianship is similar. You have to tread carefully here. Getting it wrong can leavecto trouble when memory loss is involved.
"A living trust is a type of estate planning document that serves two primary functions. First, it specifies who will manage your assets during your lifetime, including if you become incapacitated, as well as after your death. Second, it determines who will inherit your assets after you die and under what circumstances."
I would say that it would depend on how advanced the Denentia is. As Isthis said, they have to understand what they are signing.
No. Once someone is diagnosed with or suffering from Dementia, he/she can no longer make any such legal document as Will, Trust, POA, legal changes of any kind including filing for divorce, deed changes, etc.
This person is no longer capable of legally designating anything.
If you fill us in a bit more we may be able to help you a bit more.
Alva, I am going to disagree with you on "once someone is diagnosed with dementia..." the hospital my dad was diagnosed for dementia in provided the notary to sign the POA he granted me. It is fully dependant up the persons ability to understand in the moment, not long term or even short term recall.
You seem to be mixing up some lexicon. Do you mean a Living Will? A Last Will and Testament? A revocable Trust?
Trusts aren't just "made out". They are complex and also expensive to create: $1000+. Ours cost $3600. The more assets one has, the more complex it can get.
It depends on how advanced their dementia is. A good certified elder law attorney will take the elder aside to privately interview them to assess their legal capacity and to ensure they are not being coerced. You will not be allowed in this interview. You are in danger of seeming to be coercing this person, especially if it's not their idea about the Trust and they can't comprehend how it works. It's not something that happens in a rush -- the attorneys don't work that way. It usually takes more than 1 appointment.
