My mother-in-law lives with us and has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. We've been dealing with it for about a year but things are progressively getting worse. What are options for care? - eviltoast

She gets social security, and we don’t have a lot of money ourselves and are no longer able to be with her 24/7. We are in Maryland, and are scared of what we can do. Will her medicare do anything? Is it too late for something like long term care insurance? We have no idea where to start.

Thanks for any insight.

    I would talk to a lawyer. Not because it’s a legal matter, but because lawyers tend to be very resourceful and tend to know lots of options and their various pros and cons.

    I know it’s a weird hunch but it could be worth a shot.
