Stop Depleting Assets, Draining Nest Eggs And Finally Gain Back Your Control
Brian Willie
If your family is dealing with Alzheimer’s you have more than enough to worry about. Let me help! As the mind and body of your loved one starts to shut down, they will need help-- especially when the need for long-term care is close at hand.
Sadly, the medical symptoms can’t be reversed at this time, BUT THE STRESS AND WORRY OVER THE COSTS, CAN!
We still don’t understand exactly how Alzheimer’s disease damages the brain, but we do know that it strikes gradually and ferociously. And, the financial strain put on families can be just as unkind.
I’m sure you’re more than aware how difficult this disease can be emotionally, physically and financially. It can literally make you feel helpless. The negative impact on your health, employment, income and financial security can cause you to experience high levels of stress and depression.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, almost 10 million Americans act as Alzheimer’s caregivers, providing some form of care to loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Annually, this adds up to a staggering 8.4 billion hours of unpaid care. A contribution valued at $89 billion.
Yet ironically, with billions paid out in government benefits, close to 57% of Americans receive NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT from Medicare, Medicaid or any other government programs.
Financial support that your family is entitled to know about, apply for, and in many cases receive!
I know how hard this wretched disease is to deal with. Like you, I have watched someone special change before my eyes, and I understand how frustrating and overwhelming the disease can be.
I’ve experienced the stress of dealing with someone who seems deliberately difficult or who fails to recognize that something is even wrong…and how a life that was once filled with exuberance has been reduced to the heartache that they may now not recognize you. I know how hard it is to focus on anything else, let alone money.
But, eventually you will have to prepare for your loved one’s long-term care…and the literally shocking costs that you will face.
