Yes, I know I need to talk to a social worker. It’s a mystery as to know what is ahead of me. I am sincerely grateful to all the help I receive from the kind and caring people on this network.&

I need to find a geriatric social worker too. The financial picture for us is pretty dim and eventually we will have to go on Medicaid. It depends on when we run out of money, and with doctors and meds,
it could be sooner than we think!
Let me know when you decide to contact a social worker. I have a referral from our attorney for an attorney who has resources for us but need to find out the cost first. Probably a social worker also has resources and that is my second step after a lawyer. I’ve been putting this off but I need to call and get going on this journey.
Prayers for your family.

I agree with you - the helpful caring people on this site have given me support and advice I would not find anywhere else. I have all kinds of fear on this Dementia journey, but knowing I have this site helps to keep me on the right path. Thank all of you for your love and concern. God’s blessings to you all.

I will be contacting a social worker very soon.
