[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 675030, member: 3306"] Baby Boomers had better hope not. Alzheimer's is not a disease that Medicare covers. If you don't have long term disability insurance then you are screwed with this disease. And if you have enough savings to get you through it, then you have to be careful that greedy relatives don't screw you out of it. There is a ton of family exploitation of the elderly out there. Nursing home admissions are actually on the decline as parents of aging parents choose to keep them at home. That's all well and good, except for their motives, which sometimes involves greed, wanting the house, the money, the stuff... If you didn't get the chance to see it, get on Primetime's "Family Secrets" on ABC.com to see one family "caring" for mother at home. It will make you cry and I'm sure it's going on everywhere. Say what you will about nursing homes. They are at least regulated. Not to say that all families are exploiting loved ones. It's just too tempting for some folks, though. Alzheimer's is out there, folks. It's gonna be a nightmare when the Boomers start to get it. [/QUOTE]
