The only module based, learning program that answers the question: “what happens if I outlive my assets?”–has just been released.

Paying For Alzheimer’s Care-Big Things on the Way…

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 [...]

Alzheimer’s Disease, Power of Attorney

Now don’t get me wrong, there are certainly reputable, good people out there who sell these products. The problem is, people with Alzheimer’s have a very high chance [...]

Medicare and Alzheimer’s Disease

Did you know that Medicare does not cover most of what a person with Alzheimer’s needs? Many people confuse Medicare and Medicaid.  I like to look at it this way: Medicare only cares  if you are “lucky” enough to have the right disease! I know –it sounds absurd. But it’s true.
