If you had Alzheimer's?

Tweet

I was a care giver for both my parents until there deaths. My dad died of Alzheimer's disease first then 7 years alter my mother was diagnosed with the same illness in conjunction with diabetics and high blood pressure. I spent 15 years of my adult life and all my saving providing care for my parents. If you were diagnosed with a mind robbing illness would you expect your children to provide your care or would you expect to be placed in a nursing home? Could your afford nursing care or would your family have to be responsible? Insurance will only go so far then someone has to pick up the bill? Would you want to live if you knew the time would come when you would no longer remember how to care for yourself? No longer have any memory of your family or friends?
