Medicare, Dementia and My Mom – What Do I Need to Know?

Kim Hegwood | February 17, 2025

If you suddenly find yourself taking care of an elderly parent, you will need to know how Medicare works.
“You would want to get a durable power of attorney, perhaps medical power of attorney. And those are the typical things that people are aware of. And there’s one form that most people don’t know about.” Blanche Hayden

Kim will talk to Blanche Hayden an experienced Medicare Agent and a senior herself. She will discuss:

1. What is the first thing I need to do to help and legally represent my parent?

2. How do I know what kind of Medicare plan my parent has? And what are the two main types of Medicare Plans? (Medicare Advantage &Medicare Supplements)

3. What do Original Medicare Part A and Part B cover for dementia patients? Does Medicare pay for everything?

4. What should I be aware of to ensure that skilled nursing care is covered, if necessary?

5. Does Medicare pay for custodial or memory care in nursing homes or assisted living?

6. What financial resources might be available to help pay for custodial care for parents with dementia?
