ILLUSTRATION BY KEVIN SPROULS THE MOORE GROUP AT MORGAN STANLEY T There is much to celebrate about the average American’s increasing longevity. You have more years to accomplish your life goals, and your parents may be able to really get to know their great-grandchildren. Still, those extra years and the infirmities that commonly come with old age also mean that people need more care—which, in turn, implies multidimensional concerns. LAYING THE GROUNDWORK WITH LOVED ONES To prepare for the future, some actions can be taken now. Planning becomes even more important if you are likely to shoulder the responsibility of making caregiving decisions for your spouse, your parents or others. Three basic steps can get you on the right track: Involve a strong team. Let us say you are overseeing the care of an aging parent, and communication has become difficult. Your decisions may greatly benefit from an established relationship with your mother’s or father’s doctor, attorney, accountant and financial advisor. Additionally—depending on your parent’s needs— you may want to call on a social worker and a geriatric care manager. Have a conversation. The more you know about your parent’s or spouse’s wishes, the better. Discussions about care are generally not easy, but knowing what someone really wants can be an enormous help in simplifying the decisions you need to make down the road. The more you know about your aging parent’s or spouse’s wishes, the better. Get some things in writing. You’ll want to have quick access to basic information such as social security numbers, Medicare information, insurance policies, legal documents and financial statements. Additionally, there are a number of strategies that empower loved ones to make decisions and to record other wishes. These include: • Durable Power of Attorney: This document gives you the authority to make legal and financial decisions for another person in the event that he or she is no longer able to do so. • Living Will: Also known as an advance directive, this document guides medical professionals and family members in determining what treatments should be considered. • Healthcare Proxy: Essentially, this is a medical power of attorney that enables you to make medical decisions on behalf of the person you are caring for. ABOUT US M EVALUATING COST Research shows that almost 70 percent of people age 65 and older will require some degree of long-term care over the rest of their lives.1 The associated costs are considerable: The median cost of a private nursing home in the United States is approximately $91,250 a year, and the median cost of in-home care assistance is approximately $20 per hour, or $45,760 per year for a 40-hour week.2 Given the price tag for services, it may make sense to earmark savings for future care needs.
