So my 91-year-old Mom has COVID.

20. I feel your pain.

My mom is 89 and has CLL leukemia and dementia and lives with me. Her dementia is getting really bad and everything is a challenge. She can still eat and walk with assistance but that's about it. Because of her CLL and covid we haven't even considered ALFs. Her immune-compromised state makes her very vulnerable.

I did learn that once the dementia is advanced enough to qualify them for hospice care, Medicare pays 100% for nursing visits and you get a team assigned that includes a social worker. My SIL's dad just passed away of dementia and had this care for a year and a half at no cost to her dad. Have you checked out if she qualifies for these resources?

It is so sad that our country doesn't provide support for our elders and those of us who are caregivers are on our own.
