Second Half of Life Podcast
If the Diagnosis is Dementia
Alzheimer's Disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and just one type of dementia. Don't allow Alzheimer's or dementia to devastate your family and finances. There are numerous resources available to help if you or a family member gets a dementia diagnosis. In this podcast, a recording of a virtual seminar originally presented June 3-4, 2020, Attorney Brittany Smith and Long-Term Care Planner Tammy Zilske discuss what is dementia and its warning signs, the stages of Alzheimer's Disease, community resources to contact for help, caregiving tips, answers to top questions about legal, tax, financial and care concerns, how to access government benefits that may be available to help pay for care of a loved one, and action steps to take sooner rather than later.
