LTC planning has little to do with the person needing care.  It's really about protecting those we love most from the physical, emotional and financial consequences they'll face when a parent or loved one needs help to get through each day. This month, we'll focus on five stressors a family caregiver WILL face to some degree.  The level of that strain depends on if there is a plan in place to manage and afford the care and responsibilities that come with caregiving. This week, we talk about time.  69% of family/friend caregivers report having to rearrange their schedules to provide needed care.  75% of that 69% are women, who sacrifice our families and our futures to provide for a parent. Episodes this month are very short and straight to the point. When there is a plan in place, there is less stress on the entire family.  Let me help you design your plan.
