Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
This sounds like a bad idea. Who are you to this elderly man? And what experience do you have with managing dementia, glaucoma, or Parkinson's? Call APS, and let a professional take care of him. Find another place to live.
This is not a good idea. He has dementia because of his Parkinsons and both will worsen over time. Longterm care is in his future if not already there. If you are not a family member, you have no rights. He can't assign POA because of the dementia.
Are you capable of living on your own? If so, if there are no family members willing to help this man, you need to call APS and allow the state to take over his care.
Possibly. There is a new program through Medicare, Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, that's a comprehensive approach to caring for dementia patients and their caregivers. Click on the spreadsheet to find the participating organizations in your state to get all of your questions answered. www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/innovation-models/guide
i have never heard of this program. Thanks for listing it.
However, it doesn’t pay a salary to home caregivers. It’s more of an opportunity for home caregivers to get respite and help with a care plan for dementia patients living at home.
The following from the internet.
The Medicare GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model is a program that aims to improve care for people with dementia and support their caregivers. It does not directly pay a salary to home caregivers. Instead, the GUIDE Model provides payments to participating provider organizations through a few different avenues: Dementia Care Management Payment (DCMP): Participants receive a monthly payment per beneficiary to cover care management, care coordination, and caregiver education and support services. The DCMP amount can vary based on the beneficiary's needs and other factors. Respite Services Payments: GUIDE provides up to $2,500 per year for respite services to eligible beneficiaries, allowing caregivers to take breaks. Infrastructure Payments: New programs may be eligible for a one-time infrastructure payment to help cover start-up costs. Important note: While the program provides resources and support that can benefit caregivers, it does not directly pay them a salary.
Your client pays you. If you are looking for Medicaid reimbursement the pay is extremely low (think minimum wage per the state) This is not full time work so do not expect a living wage. He will get much worse. So I ask if you are willing to see a future of 24/7 care. You will find yourself over your head and I bet you are not documented as his POA It is best for him to go on Medicaid to a SNF

Call APS, and let a professional take care of him. Find another place to live.
It's a program to assist dementia patients at home without the cost of LTC.
Is this a community Medicaid, not Medicare, program for your state?
Medicare is health insurance.
I just saw Ravensdottir reference to Guide. Is that what you are referring to? That is under Medicare.

Are you capable of living on your own? If so, if there are no family members willing to help this man, you need to call APS and allow the state to take over his care.
