I'm not sure what you mean. Dementia is a medical condition and dementia patients do need medical care. Their brains are sick and keep getting worse. Maybe you're thinking he just needs household help? However, you can't ignore dementia - eventually (if he lives long enough) he'll need medication, help with walking, bathing, eating and more. Swallow tests, physical therapy, special shower equipment, and variations of all of the above.
Is this for your husband that is mentioned in your profile? Is he a Veteran? If so the VA may provide some hours of caregivers/Home Health Aide. But with the other medical conditions you list depending on where and when he served he may qualify for some other benefits. AND you can now get paid to care for the Veteran. (in the past spouses could not get paid while other family members could) If he is a Veteran check with your local Veterans Assistance Commission and see what they say. (their service is free)
Medicare Advantages advertise they help with aides. Medicare contracts out to health insurance companies. They are suppose to abide by Medicare A&B and also provide prescription, dental and vision.
If Dad fits the criteria, Medicaid may help. Medicare helps with intermittent care but not full-time care.
Check with Office of Aging and see what resourses they have.
Not really. Insurance, if you are speaking medical insurance, is there for medical situations. If there is long term insurance, there may be some remedy.
I am unclear as to what sort of "help" it is you want now, or expect? The more information you can give us the more we may be able to help you.
