I've mentioned previously that my Mom is suffering from dementia, and I'm looking to get her into assisted living. I just thought I'd post a couple of useful links for anyone in a similar situation. First, there's a paper titled Understanding the Dementia Experience [PDF] that I found quite helpful in trying to understand what my Mom is going through. And I've started reading a book called Long-Term Care: How to Plan & Pay for It that seems to be a pretty good book, though I haven't gotten too far through it yet. I have to say that my Dad did a great job in preparing for this, since he bought long-term care insurance for my Mom several years ago. The LTC insurance should help us out a lot.
