I would love to know how many of the perpetrators come from single-parent households.

Part of my business is long term care insurance, and it is the only reason my mother has the funds to stay at home since her stroke. Otherwise she'd be in Medicaid spend down or living in my spare bedroom.

What kind of struggles do you see among the children of dementia patients as they deal with each other, the cost of care, and the decisions about care for the parent?

Well, when she had the stroke I went through 17 (I know, prolly excessive) asst living and rehab facilities before picking the one she rehabbed in for four months. So, I'm used to putting staff and admin through their paces and on their toes in order to get to the truth. However, that doesn't make me smart, just kind of a thorough person and sometimes a bit of a dick. I guess what I was looking for was advice on getting them to produce fitness reports about the place, how incidents of alleged abuse were handled and things of that nature.

BTW, let me tell you that I think that people willing to work with the most damaged among us are doing something very special.

My mother had a moderate stroke in 2012, but is still living at home with live-in help. If the time comes to go to assisted living and possibly a memory unit, what are two-three things you would tell her children to look for to obtain the best possible care?
