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.

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. You may also want to analyze
