Hi Shelley, sadly, I did not purchase long term care pre-PD diagnosis. Now, no company will cover me due to this pre-existing diagnosis. I wish you luck and hope you will share if you find a resource.

Finding long-term health care coverage for Parkinson's can be challenging. Here are some tips from my knowledge base:

- Check In-Network Providers: Ensure that any long-term care providers you consider are in-network with your insurance plan to keep costs down.
- Explore Multiple Resources: Utilize resources like VA benefits, hospice, private caregivers, and family support.
- Consult a Social Worker: They can help identify intermittent, part-time, or full-time home care options.
- Consider Nursing Homes: If caregiving becomes overwhelming, discuss the possibility of a nursing home or care facility with your healthcare team.

For more detailed information, you can visit resources like the American Parkinson Disease Association and the Parkinson’s Foundation.
