Do Any Of You Have Long Term Care Insurance, And If So, Do You Have Any Experience With The EB04 Form? My Ins. Carrier Is Asking For That?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband is on Hospice, but I will soon need to hire sitters on a regular basis, but I'm having a hard time activating the State Farm insurance that we are continuing to pay almost $2000 per year! They keep requesting "form EB04", which nobody has ever heard of! I'm so tired of trying to figure this out! Our hospice has sent them every possible form available.

Thanks again! Yes, I may have written it wrong in my notes.

Activities In Memory Care - How To Address 99 Year Old Aunts Needs?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Aunt is deaf but can read lips and captioning. Also, she cannot see distance. She is 99 and a wordsmith and great at conversation. There are no activities so I have to pay extra for personal aides to do things that are stimulating to her so she does not sit alone all day.

A myALZteam Member

Wonderful of you to address her needs for connection and stimulation. She would be so isolated without it.

My Husband Has Started To Obsess With Seeing Tiny Bugs Everywhere. It Can Be A Pepper Dot, A Spec Of Mulch, Etc. He Says They Are Bitting
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Him, but he is picking at his skin to make a cut. I don’t know how to explain to him it’s not bugs. So far I’ve had house sprayed, air ducts cleaned and now he want air duct replaced for 6000.00 dollars!!! Gets so angry when no one agrees with him. Help!

A myALZteam Member

Thank you. He won’t take any medications and he thinks I’m the crazy one.

CANNOT Get Loved One Out Of The House For Any Appointment Before 1pm. I'm A Morning Person - DONE By Afternoon.How Can I Get Him Out On Time
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Husband is 91 and in early-mid stages. He LOVEs to shower and I can't get him out. This is mostly what makes us late but it can be anything. I just can't get him out so that we're on time. Setting clock earlier doesn't help. Im a morning person and am just exhausted/done by the afternoon, so changing stuff to afternoon is not a favorable option for me.
