According to PEW research, over 90% of Americans do not have long-term care insurance. And yet, the Department of Health and Human Services says that more than half of adults 65 or older will need long-term care at some point. This means there’s a good chance that you or your aging parents are going to need long-term care.
In this episode, my guest, Cameron Huddleston, interviewed me about how to plan for long-term care, whether long-term care insurance is actually a good idea for you, and some things that you need to be thinking about in the planning.

040 Financial Security - Preparing to Pay for Long Term Care

Did you know that financial mistakes are one of the biggest signs or symptoms of Alzheimer's and related dementias even up to six years prior to a diagnosis? And according to the journal of health economics, during early-stage Alzheimer's people are up to 27% more likely than cognitively healthy people to experience a large decline in their liquid assets, such as savings and checking accounts, stocks, and bonds.
The fact, that Alzheimer's and related dementia people are likely to experience financial loss at a very early stage is one of the biggest reasons why we have to help our family members when it comes to finances, and family members and elderly loved ones need to be, or hopefully will be, willing to allow us to be helpful.
In this episode, my guest Cameron Huddleston discusses all of the different ways that gift cards and financial scams can come to impact our elderly loved ones and the ways that we can help.

039 The Crucial Case For Monitoring The Finances Of Elderly Loved Ones

Have you ever had to make the decision to let someone else die? Or even a decision for someone else to have a procedure that could lead to their death. Or, did your family have conflict around either one of these topics?
While we're healthy, it's really easy to ignore these issues. It is much harder to talk about them and even more difficult when someone gets ill.
But as my guest today will tell you, these are crucial and loving conversations, and having them can make all the difference. Dr. Kim Fischer is a board-certified physician anesthesiologist and an advanced care planning coach. She helps take-charge women in the thick of life get clear on what they want to happen should an accident or illness arise that renders them unable to speak for themselves in an ER or hospital. As an advanced care planning coach, Dr. Fischer supports you in having crucial conversations with your loved ones so that everyone knows your wishes explicitly and there is no ambiguity.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
• What questions to ask and think about, while having these important conversations with your loved ones.
• When, and how often, should we have these critical conversations?
• How can we empower our healthcare proxies to be our knowledgeable advocates, if we find ourselves in a situation where we can’t speak for ourselves?
• If these kinds of conversations are too difficult to have with our loved ones, who are the people we should reach out to?
