If a person with Alzheimer’s is choosing to remain at home, there are options for people to help pay for care. They may choose to hire a professional caregiver for short periods and then provide assistance with housing and daily living needs themselves. Or they can use in-home care services and pay for the costs from their own pocket.
Whatever the decision, it can be overwhelming to have a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia. The first step is to make sure that a person with Alzheimer’s or dementia has needed care.
