Webinar: Planning for Care

About the Program: Many people spend months planning for vacations, years planning for children or decades planning for their financial futures.  However, most people spend little to no time planning for the care they will likely need as they age.  There are many reasons for this failure to plan, ranging from lack of information, to fear or even religious beliefs, but ultimately most of us will find ourselves in the position of needing to make such plans, either for ourselves or our loved ones.  In this session, you will learn about how to discuss the need to plan for care with your clients and the basics of the care planning process.  An essential component to care planning involves financial planning as the care required can be quite expensive. Care planning also involves the need to establish trusting relationships with your clients as they are asked to provide personal details about themselves and their wishes for their lives as they age. We will talk about options for care and how to plan for care for oneself or for aging family members to assist you in addressing the concerns of clients of any age.
