This book tells,in six clearly defined steps, HOW to find a decent Alzheimer's nursing facility and HOW to get financial assistance from Medicaid. No important detail is neglected. This is information you cannot get from any other source. The author has personally and successfully gone the full route. He tells the reader what to expect. How to overcome problems along the way, and how to respond to Medicaid's numerous requests for verifications. Many, if not most attorneys would charge $1,500 for providing assistance when applying for Medicaid financial help.

I had ordered this book to be shipped express, as my mother has senile dementia., and I thought I could find out more about Medicaid. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to see how this book was packaged for the price. It had said SPIRAL-BOUND, (which in itself is not expensive)., and instead I got a book with a cover that costs probably $1.00 from the drugstore. Also, glancing through the info., I knew most of it from talking to social workers and others., or from getting pamphlets or just asking questions., so I don't really see where the info is that you can't get anywhere else. It might be a little helpful for someone just starting the process., but not at all worth the price. Most I would have paid is 1/4 what the author/publisher charges. Sorry! . . .
