The only module based, learning program that answers the question: “what happens if I outlive my assets?”–has just been released. This is a one-of-a-kind program that will help you face every long-term care decision and determine exactly how government benefits can help offset all or a portion of the extraordinary costs.

Every program is explained in great detail- step-by-step, how you qualify. Nothing has been left out.

My Alzheimer’s long-term care program is almost done and I’m stunned at the number of people who have already signed up for my priority notification list. In fact, it’s almost full and I’ll have to shut it down this weekend.

Just a quick note, that after a lot of struggling to find the time to work on something really big and a lot of prodding from my amazing subscribers.. (not to mention my Grandma) I’m just about done with a “big package” on how families facing Alzheimer’s can pay for the extraordinary costs of long-term care. My subscribers will be getting a preview in just a few short days.

To find out what this program will be all about, (and find out how you can get member’s only pricing and bonuses from some of the top Alzheimer’s experts) visit my site to get my free ebook and get on my list.  But you have to hurry. Announcement coming very soon.

I thought I would share this audio post from NPR:

“Eldercare Difficult For Families As Economy Suffers.”  People share their stories of the costs involved, the important financial decisions you’ll face and when and how to make the move to higher levels of care.

You may be aware, but there are levels of care or a “continuum of care” you will be faced with as your loved one’s Alzheimer’s progresses.  When your family member is still able to substantially care for themselves, they may live first in an indpendent living facility.  Many times health services are provided and some have emergency systems built in. 

However it is also very common for a family member to live with the person with Alzheimer’s.  In many cases this is the adult child who is providing care as an in-home caregiver.  It’s often necessary to supplement this care with at-home health care.  This can be a great way to balance your life as a family caregiver but still bring in additional help.  As we have discussed, it can be quite expensive and it may be difficult for many families to pay this cost over time.

Next comes assisted living facilities. There are excellent assisted living facilities out there that can provide your family member with assistance with activities of daily living.  Many facilities will even have Alzheimer’s units that are set up to handle the toughest of situations.  As Alzheimer’s Disease progresses, it’s often neccesary to explore nursing care in a nursing facility.  Nursing homes are set up for round the clock care.

We will talk more about how to choose a good facility.

Most people facing Alzheimer’s have never heard about a Veteran’s Benefit called a Special Monthly or Improved Pension. You may have heard the name “Aid and Attendance” tossed around, and it has sort of become this “mysterious” thing that people have heard exist but no one has any idea how to obtain the benefit.

Aid and Attendance is really a misnomer.  The real program is a Special Monthly Pension (also called Improved Pension). Part of that program includes a higher level benefit for Veteran’s needing “Regular Aid and Attendance.”  Now, it’s important not to confuse this VA Pension with a VA Disability Pension where the Veteran has been rated disabled due to an injury that occured during a wartime period.

Instead, this is a program that provides for long-term care costs for a Veteran who was not injured during war but is now disabled. This is a really great program for Alzheimer’s.  Many families living with Alzheimer’s want to keep their loved one at home for as long as possible.  Or, they want to move their mom or dad into a good assisted living facility.  Home health care and assisted living can cost tremendous amounts of money.  But, if you qualify for this VA benefit, it can provide up to about $1,800 per month for a married couple, about $1,500 per month for a single Veteran and nearly $1,000  per month for the widow or widower of a wartime Veteran.

This can go a long way to keeping your loved one with Alzheimer’s at home longer or at a quality assisted living facility.
