   Number 5: Aging Parents & Inheritance: When a House Isn't Worth The Caregiver Cost

   The promise of owning an elderly parent's home may be attractive for family caregivers. Caring for aging parents may involve more work than you think, especially if a parent has dementia or Alzheimer's. Along with being a caregiver, you may give up income, health insurance, retirement savings, a social life, and the right to call your own shots because of depending on an elderly parent for income and a place to live.Trading your life to care for a parent, with a future promise to own real estate, may not be practical if your parent needs the home's equity for a reverse mortgage to pay their bills or to sell the home to pay for assisted living, memory care, or nursing home care. It's impossible to predict the future, and a promise today may need to be broken tomorrow.So while giving up a job or career to live with and care for parents might seem like a good plan, caregiving expert, educator, and consultant Pamela D. Wilson offers caregiver advice to help families have practical discussions about family caregiver strategies and elder care.Find show transcripts and educational links on the topic mentioned in Episode 246 and other episodes of The Caring Generation podcast athttps://pameladwilson.com/caregiver-radio-programs-the-caring-generation/Discover caregiving, aging, and elder care tips for your self-care or caregiving journey at https://www.PamelaDWilson.com Learn about Pamela D Wilson as a caregiving expert, her professional background, and her 25 years of professional experience:https://pameladwilson.com/pamela-d-wilson-story/Schedule a 1:1 virtual or telephone 1:1 or family elder care consultation https://pameladwilson.com/elder-care-consultant-aging-parent-consultation-managing-senior-care-needs-meet-with-pamela-d-wilson/Learn about Pamela D Wilson as an expert witness in caregiving, guardianship, fiduciary litigation, power of attorney, care management, and non-medical in-home care: https://pameladwilson.com/conservatorship-guardianship-expert-witness/ https://pameladwilson.com/expert-witness-caregiving-home-care-guardianship/ https://pameladwilson.com/power-of-attorney-advisor-or-protector/Check out Pamela’s online course Caring for Aging Parents: https://pameladwilson.com/support-caring-for-elderly-parents-overwhelmed-caregiver-support-online-course/Sign up for Pamela's caregiving newsletter:https://pameladwilson.com/contact/ Join Pamela's Online Caregiver Support Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecaregivingtrapFollow Pamela on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pameladwilsoncaregivingexpert/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pameladwilsoncaregiverexpert/X: https://www.x.com/CaregivingSpeak Pamela D.
