Book excerpt: The financial burden of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease is great, with medical and non-medical costs increasing substantially over time. These issues are further complicated by the fact that your loved one no longer has the capacity to manage their own finances. To help you navigate the economics of Alzheimer’s disease, this book provides information about the costs to expect and the resources you can use to pay for them. We explore types of insurance and potential sources of income. We also examine the complex rules associated with government resources like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Knowing the expenses the future may hold and being prepared to manage them will take some of the stress out of caregiving.
