Long term care planning is about more than the insurance or funding for care.  This week, Diane shares important questions we and our families need to be asking today. Regardless of where you will live, who do you want helping you?  Do they know this?  Are they able to do what you need? What do you want to have happen when extended care is needed?  Where do you want to live?  It's much easier to have these discussions today, while you're not in the middle of a crisis. Have the conversations now so your family and loved ones will have a blueprint of what you have and what you want.  They'll then be able to make better decisions for you and with you regarding your care. Funding your plan is still very important, so schedule time with me to research ways to do so at   Much of the information I'm sharing is from LTC Planning Guides designed to help create these family conversations.  I'll gladly send you a guide when you email me a request at
