Does Medicare Cover Alzheimer Facility Care?

Morning, Toni:

I read your Medicare column regularly and have never seen you address the issue of paying for an Alzheimer facility care.  I am concerned that I may wipe out my 401K or savings if the arises due to long-term care or Alzheimer’s need arises for me or my wife.

Currently, my 88-year-old mother has been living in an Alzheimer’s facility for 3 years, costing me and my siblings over $5,500 each month. Is there any help we can get for her financially?…
