I'm new on this place and I'm trying to collect some information. As I
know in Croatia we don't have any specialized institution for care of
Alzheimer's patients. Can you tell me, if you have such kind of
information, how much person has to pay per month in average
institution in your country, if person has no insurance?
Thanks

Here is a link to Ontario Canada costs - we have public health
insurance, which makes a big difference. For example, nursing home
care is largely not for profit and partially subsidized.

Re: COST of ACCOMODATION
Ha!
They know VERY well how to treat alzheimers disease, and there are quite a
few good medications in use now, that help a lot. But there is no cure, no
matter what anyone tells you.

Thank you for your answer and your information. Luckily I don't have
this kind of patient in my family. I'm just curious to compare Croatia
and the world. Indeed, today I receive information for two small
houses in Croatia and monthly cost is from 1000 to 1400 US$.
Nevertheless, do you have any information on costs in US like Mary
suplied me with costs in Canada?

Thank you for your post. You bring me a lot of information. Do you
have information in what percentage provinces subsidize the costs of
nursing homes?

Re: COST of ACCOMODATION
EddyJean,
You are the only person in the world who continues to put forth all this
misinformation and fantasy. If anyone needs to wake up and get with the
real world, it is you.
I advise anyone who is curious about what the real truth is, to please
research for themselves. The internet has lots of people, who for whatever
reason like to propagate mythology.
Ask a REAL doctor..... please. Educate yourself.

Its very hard to compare with the US, since we have universal health
insurance, and many care facilites are not-for-profit.
All I can tell you is rich or poor, we pay a fraction of what people
in the US pay, and the care is quite comparable.
