I have an advisor from “A Place for Mom” who is sending me info for Independent Living in Illinois, where we will be in a few months. I have also a referral from our lawyer for a lawyer who will help us to eventually get on Medicaid. There may be a fee but sometimes I think it would be worth it instead of dealing with all the hassle.
I have found information on the Internet about caregiving, Dementia, financial problems, Independent Living,, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Home Care, and printed out a lot of information I need, which had become a large file in a matter of days.
I need information from you if your loved one with Dementia is beginning to talk his own language and have to ask him constantly what he is saying. Sometimes it sounds like baby-talk and other times, no one can understand what he is saying but him? Also, yesterday afternoon he started laughing real hard at some things, which is not like him at all. He will say some silly things but not laugh out loud like he did the other day. I wish I knew what caused him to be so happy so I can be happy with him!
