Cost of memory care for an Alzheimer's patient

We pay about $3,500 per month for 1:1 memory care in Thailand. The staff there is specially trained in Tom Kitwood's "Person Centered Dementia Care". They even came to our house in Seattle and escorted her from door to door for free. Also very much worth noting that the prices are locked in for life regardless of how fast or slow her Alzheimer's progresses.

@lisagrey So interesting! Would love to hear more about this. How you came across this facility and decided to select them. Does the staff speak English, or is your mother from there?

@lisagrey Hi Lisa. Thank you for posting this. I am the only child of a single mother with progressing Alzheimer's Disease. She lives in SC and I in Seattle. We have some family in her hometown, though none able to or willing to assume care for her. She lives on a small income of state pension and social security. I am extremely stressed thinking about her long term options, as neither of us can afford the hefty bill for in-home or LT memory care, and I cannot stop working (I am single without alternate income sources). I have never thought of overseas care, honestly. What has been your experience? Pros/Cons? I will look into this further as well. Again, thank you for your post.
