$14K / year for two is stunning. I'm thinking a portion of this (dementia care) counts as a medical expense for tax purposes?

Agreed - this is a well overlooked issue by Governments.
There's a disability write off that we can apply for on this years pension that should help a bit.

Private care is tremendously expensive, especially memory care can be really expensive and specific.

When you add in needing a secure facility, instead of in a general setting where they need constant help and supervision, its really pricing.

Add on, it was my mom's birthday this weekend so we decided to have a Pizza party because Mom used to love Pizza, so we bought in a Pizza and bought some cupcakes.

My Mom is an on and off eater. But she actually destroyed the Pizza and had 4 pieces and a cup cake which made us all happy.
