While I was at a meeting in Central Office a few weeks ago, we had a talk from a lady from an Insurance company who said that they could provide cheaper insurance for people with Dementia.
I said that we were very interested, as every time I try to get holiday insurance for my dementia, it feels as if the sky is the limit as far as these companies are concerned.
Eventually a gentleman rang up and took all the details from my wife, and gave us a quote which was not took good to say the least. However he did say that he would need to go and do some research before coming back with a final quote.
However yesterday he rang back with more details, but as my wife was out he would not leave them with me, which is probably not a bad idea, as most things go in one ear and out the other.
He did ring back later and gave my wife a better quote along with a list of countries that are not recommended when something like Dementia is around.
Needless to say we are both very happy and now, as this was half the original quote, we are looking forward to planning a holiday, once my daughter has produced her third child in July.
This Travel Insurance is something that many people with dementia have major problems with, and I do feel that many companies victimise people with dementia and their carers, but hopefully now the tables are turning in our favour.
We all live in hope
