PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
What are your retirement living and long term care options?
John is 68 years old and his wife Elaine is 64 years old. They are retiring at the end of the school year and are starting to plan for their retirement. They have two married children who live 500+ miles away. They would like to explore their best options, which include staying in their home, moving to smaller house, condo/apartment or a continuum of care retirement community (CCRC). They want to learn as much as possible prior to make important decisions for aging in place regarding their health insurance plans, financial needs and legal options. They also want to know more about remodeling their home as one of the options. This demographic (Aging Baby Boomers) is a growing segment of future caregivers.
