Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are widely recognized as significant health risks of aging, but their potential effects on your wealth plan and family dynamics can be severe as well. In this episode of I’ve Been Meaning To Do That, host Oscarlyn Elder talks with Annalee Kruger, founder of Care Right Inc. and author of The Invisible Patient, for an important conversation about the risks of waiting until a crisis hits to make care plans, and the benefits of being proactive. Kruger’s experience caring for her own aging parents informs her practical guidance that can help lessen the risk of later regret about a loved one’s care.

Also in the discussion:

• The widespread misconceptions about the high cost of memory care

• The necessary components of a dementia care plan

• How to help your kids or caregivers now so they can better help you when you need them

• How to make plans if you’re single, widowed, or divorced
