Finding Care and Funding Care
Managing how we age and understanding later life care can often be surprising for seniors, as well as for their families. Now more than ever, seniors are increasingly involved in their own health and wellness, and they have more choices in how they receive care— either within the home or within a care community that best fits their needs.

Where it gets complicated is in navigating those choices and it can be confusing for families. This is especially true when they learn the true costs of care and then try to figure out how to pay for it now, and over time.

It can be hard for everyone to deal with change and finding the right situation can be challenging, as well as stressful.
Funding the Care. For as Long as They Live.
Fortunately, there are solutions to optimize the resources you or your loved one may have. 

Assets may be optimized to ensure care is available for as long as your loved one lives. You can rest easy and avoid worrying about running out of funds and disruptions to care.
Get a Sense of Emotional and Financial Security
Most individuals have saved over decades to live their retirement dream, including a plan for long term care. Many also wish to leave behind an inheritance for their loved ones. There are some who invested in long-term care (LTC) insurance. 

However, when it comes to funding for their care, they found they have not saved enough. Even those with LTC discover that the plans do not fully cover their comprehensive, lifelong care.
Knowing how and when to tap into your retirement savings is just as important as building it. 
ABOUT
Joan Sarver Buth
I’m a Care Funding Specialist.

Seniors have spent their entire lives saving and sacrificing to provide for their families. They deserve the best care they can afford when they can no longer care for themselves.

Most individuals have saved over decades, but have not saved enough to cover their long term care. Many also wish to leave behind an inheritance for their loved ones. Even those who invested in long-term care (LTC) insurance encounter obstacles, as comprehensive, lifelong coverage is often financially out of reach.

You may have found a place for your loved one, and now the challenge is to pay for care as long as your loved one lives. I provide a service to help families faced with the funding decisions. I optimize the funding plan that you may have developed and see if there are areas for improvement.

Let’s set up a time to go over your loved one’s unique situation.
