FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Dementia Care
What is dementia?
Dementia is a group of symptoms that affect memory, reasoning, and the ability to carry out daily tasks. It is not one condition but a term covering several disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. Recognizing symptoms early helps families find the right support.
What are the stages of dementia?
Dementia generally progresses through mild, moderate, and severe stages. In the mild stage, individuals may have occasional memory lapses but remain largely independent. In the moderate stage, confusion and difficulty with personal care become more noticeable. In the severe stage, significant cognitive and physical decline usually calls for full-time care.
Does Medicare cover dementia care?
Medicare may cover certain medical services related to dementia, such as skilled nursing care and therapy, when specific conditions are met. It does not typically cover long-term custodial care. Our team can help you review coverage and financial options for your situation.
