How to Help Your Aging Parent (without losing your marbles or nest egg)

PANEL PRESENTATION TOPICS

Keeping Your Wits

Handling the stress of your parent’s aging; dealing with decisions in emotionally charged areas(e.g., medical, care arrangements); and preserving your most important relationships:with parent(s), your siblings, your spouse, your children … and yourself!

Watching the Dollars

Maximizing available assets and income; protecting assets upon incapacity; and getting prepared with wills and trusts to save time and money – and to avoid costly court proceedings.

Bringing the Care Home

Learning about home care and how it can help; becoming an “educated consumer” of home care services for your aging parent(s); understanding alternative (or later stage) care options; and achieving your own peace of mind.

Stepping Out on Occasion

Discovering a new way to help your aging parent(s) reclaim a measure of independence and enhanced quality of life.
