As noted in this timely WSJ article, the physical, emotional, and financial cost of caring for an aging loved one can be enormous. Asking the right questions in advance can make all the difference. Are financial and medical powers of attorney in place? Can we afford the in-home care that will soon be needed? How does the cost of assisted living compare to in-home care? How might we ever afford nursing home care if keeping mom at home becomes infeasible? Should we be exploring long-term care insurance now? How can Medicare and Medicaid play a role in financing the cost of long-term care? If you know someone struggling with these questions, you might pass along this article. By sharing how these issues touch everyone’s life at some point, the authors do a great job of encouraging people to start thinking about these questions sooner rather than later.
