Caregiver Story About Her Insurance Company Her husband (who as FTD) had a car accident while driving home. His doctor found out about the accident and called the DMV. Their insurance company GEICO cancelled their policy after 30 years. Their underwriters won't even insure anyone with a known dementia type disease living in the home. They told them, they had to find another company as she had NO CONTROL over him taking my keys, etc and just driving anyway. They finally found another company through AARP and it had a "rider" saying under no circumstances will they pay if Don is ever driving. +11/19/07 (MaryAnn) |
