Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

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:
Go to the Medicare.gov website and look for home health care. You'll find a description of services offered. Then look for find home health services. Enter your zip code. You'll get a list to choose from. Choose one or two and contact them. They will let you know if your mom has needs they can help with through the Medicare program for your state. They will need an order from your moms doctor which they can help you obtain. If they say she doesn't qualify ask them why not. For instance if your mom drives she wouldn't be considered home bound. If your mom has traditional Medicare, the type you get a supplement to go with (not Medicaid or the advantage Medicare plans) this service is available under certain circumstances that are in addition to post rehab etc if your mom meets the criteria. Look and see.
I see that your mom has dementia. Oh yes, that can definitely make people around them crazy! As GA suggests, explain your situation a little more for the best help.
Where does Mom live? (your house, her house, a memory care facility, what?) How much of her care do you provide? Is Mom's level of dementia mild, moderate, or severe? Does Mom have additional impairments? Many dementia behaviors are crazy-making! Give us some idea of the specific behaviors that are bothering you this week. What is your mother's financial situation? Can she afford help? Might she qualify for Medicaid?
(And don't worry about going crazy. It is temporary!)
Terri, if you mean that you want to find a caregiving agency funded by Medicare, to do what's known as "private duty" work, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Medicare will not pay for private duty work.
Perhaps you could categorize the type of help you need, and you'd get more suggestions on how to get help.
Also give us some idea what your mother's conditions are - physical, medical, mental?
Medicare will pay for some home care post rehab, and it will pay for Palliative Care. But more information on how your mother is making your life "crazy" would help with more succinct and to the point answers.
If you've posted on this subject before, look in your profile, change it to enable "Answer" and find answers to the point on the current issue. Then it'll help other posters read your background information. I checked, but cannot locate any answers to previous questions because that function is not enabled.
