T:Long Term Care - Please Help! 	Q:Hello all, My name is <name> and I am a <age> year old woman from <location> (yeehaw! ). Here is my situation,  I hope someone has advice for me as I really need it! I have self diagnosed myself with the early stages of alzheimer's disease. My mother got it as well and I went through the whole process from start to current day (she is in now in a <institution>). Anyways,  I was able to find a website that guided me through the application process for Long Term Care in my state (LongTermCareInsuranceFinder.  com) and now that I have the quote back for how much it is going to cost me,  I don't know if I can afford it! I have looked everywhere and it seems the free quote I got back from them was one of the lowest so that is not the problem,  it is just that I have been out of work for quite some time and my husband is long passed away. My funds are running out and I am not sure where to turn next. I fear that I will become a financial burden to my family if I can not afford to pay for this Long Term Care Health Insurance which I think I will very desperately need soon.  Does anyone have any suggestions as where I may seek state or government funding for my Long Term Care payments? Any information would be greatly appreciated as I am losing my mind day by day over this (literally! ). Thank you! -<name>	A:Hi <name>: It doesn't sound like you're ready for a <institution> yet. When you are and a <professional_practitioner> will confirm it,  you can apply for medicaid as long as you don't have more than $<num> to your name. Please don't worry about this process,  we just went through it for my mom and the medicaid people were wonderful. Once her funds were paid down,  the <institution> gets her retirement and social security checks and medicaid pays the rest. I know the government negotiates the monthly amount and pays about half what we pay privately (which was $<num> per month),  but nothing in terms of her care,  room,  etc.  ,  changes. Good luck and God bless! 


A:Hun although your Mom had it I would strongly suggest having a neurological test done To self DX is not the answer My mom will be gone <time_period> next <month> and my step dad has it BUT I know I do alot of forgetting and I am always misplacing things the norm . anyways I too was afraid like you n thought this was gonna be my life's end I had worked as a <professional_practitioner> owned my own home til other diseases and illnesses made me have to sell and retire . I guess what I am trying to say is not to self dx please please I implore you to go and get tested professionally a <professional_practitioner> can set you on the right course Keep away from checking the net I have had myself convinced I had everything from tumor to God knows what . I am not treating your concerns lightly at all but I honestly believe that the proper way to have this DX is thru a <professional_practitioner> and go from there I am sure glad you found us here and hope you will stick around I am from <location> and have no idea how the monies or gov agencies work except for here but I honestly believe there is a definite difference in forgetfulness and getting older ( I am <age>) and this Disease Hope to see you post again Take care hun and God BlessThere are resources on the side in yellow as well . Be well and please seek medical attention asap <name>


A:Check out the <institution> posted and what the ratings are you will be shocked I am sure <name>


A:If you get the chance could you post and let us know how you are doing pleaseTake care '<name>


A:Bump Still wondering how you are <name>


A:Considering you knew who you were,  you honestly do not have Alheimers. Maybe dementia,  but not what you are thinking. Some health insurances will cover for long term care,  including Medicare and Medicaid. If not,  call your local DHS office and ask for the <professional_caregiver>. Some states,  like here in <location>,  have depending on your income so many hours of in home help. If you really think you need a <institution>,  which I think you dont,  I'd recommend the following: 1. DO NOT make interviews to check out the place,  just simply GO there and also talk to the residents there,  they will tell you if they are happy there. If you find many people not happy,  you don't want to be there. 2. I'd recomment something like <institution> (a place here in <location>) because it goes from <institution> to the full blown <institution> depending on the level of care you need.  


A:Here in <location> ppl can by what they call a cottage which is part of senior care. You are independent as long as you are in the individual cottages. When you become ill and need <institution> or skilled <institution> you get transferred to the appropriate building. It is expensive.  Local <institution> take Medicare patients but they take a percentage of those patients and then private pay patients.  Please get checked out by a <professional_practitioner> and then you go from there.  Soft Hugs <name>


A:my mother in law has long term care insurance through AARP it costs <num> dollars a month. i know when we needed to use it for home health care we had to go through an approval process but they finally approved the home health care.
