I have been through the caregiving phase with my mother who passed away 11 years ago from Dementia. I kept her at home and took her care day by day. It was the most rewarding time of my life. I don't know how to answer the next question. They are phases of growing old and possibly dying from Dementia. What should I expect as I age and possibly develop Dementia? I'm 65 and currently have no problems.

Not sure if you have already, but it is always great to join AARP. They have a newspaper/magazine each month as well as group chat with many other seniors and professionals about various topics that affect seniors. One such group chat or what they call a town hall meeting was about Scams and what to look for and how to avoid them. AARP is great to belong to and a true benefit to any senior. They also have advocacy groups that fight for your rights and lobby the government.

There is a good magazine (free by the way) called Alzheimer's Today. There is generally a lot of good information in it.

The other things that you can do to help yourself would be to consult with an Elder Care Attorney and make sure you have all the papers you need completed assigning someone as POA for health, one for finances (can be the same person)

Keep active, do "good" volunteer or other things that keep you engaged and with a "purpose"
