The past 10 years have taught be a lot about aging, caregiving (for my mom) financial awareness for my financial clients and so much more. One of the biggest things I learned was to enjoy where I am at the moment, at the age, and my surroundings.....whatever that might be. In all of my financial work with clients and work with getting people to plan to retire, planning to age was forgotten in the conversation. Although I sold a lot of Long Term Care policies back in the day, it was clearly something people don't like to chat about. Now, I find myself consulting with families on what to do now that mom can't remember things, or dad can no longer drive. My book reviews what you should do before the care is needed, conversations to have with your family, your parents, your children, your friends...whomever...including yourself. Do you know what you want? How do you know what you want if you don't really even know how the whole system works? Staying at home is sometimes an option, but is it right for you? What is the difference in home health care companies? How do they work?How do you pay for any of this?What is the difference between independent living, assisted living and a nursing or skilled nursing home? Have you visited any of the above lately? Have you visited them in your area? My consulting firm works with families and individuals struggling with all of the above questions. As we follow this crazy maze of life, sometimes we just need someone to guide us through and answer some questions. Thats what I do! Let me guide you!
