Samenvatting:
When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, one of the first fears many families feel is how they will begin finding the right programs to help and how they will afford the care that may be needed. What programs are even available? Where do you start looking? How much will care cost as needs increase? Many families do not realize that the state may help cover a large share of care costs - and in some cases, nearly all of them - but finding the right programs can feel overwhelming if you do not know where to begin.A Kitchen Table Guide(TM) California Alzheimer's & Dementia Family Care Guide was created to help families who are trying to find programs, benefits, and support that may actually help, while also worrying about how care will be paid for. It is built for families who need a clearer path to understanding what may be available in California and how to begin pursuing the options that fit their situation.Inside, families will find plain-language guidance on important topics such as Medi-Cal, IHSS, community-based programs, veterans benefits, long-term care options, legal planning, and care payment strategies. The guide is designed to help readers understand what programs may exist, where to start looking for them, and what steps matter most early on before more time and money are lost.This is a practical guide for spouses, adult children, family caregivers, and anyone trying to make thoughtful decisions for someone they love while also worrying about how that care will be paid for. Instead of spending hours trying to piece together scattered information, readers get a more organized starting point for finding programs, understanding benefits, and navigating California's system with more confidence.If you are trying to find the right programs, understand how to afford Alzheimer's or dementia care, and learn what help may be available in California, this guide was made for you.
