Costs associated with getting care and support for a person suffering dementia to enable a carer to carry out business needs are steep and rising.

One of the drawbacks. for self-funded retirees and people not eligible for support through a package are responsible for these costs and cannot claim them as a tax deduction.

There is no recourse for people like me other than to have no way of recovering any of these necessary outlays.

I think that is pretty rough, for care costs are close to $100 per hour.
