We know that caring for your aging loved one is a large responsibility – one that brings you joy and fulfillment but may also bring you stress. Many caregivers are afraid to admit they need help, thinking they should be able to do it all on their own since their parents or aging loved ones took care of them all by themselves.
But the truth is, navigating the many scenarios of caregiving for an elderly loved one can be complicated and overwhelming. You shouldn’t expect yourself to know it all and be able to understand every nuance. Just as many people have a financial planner, or building consultant when tackling new territory, you might want to consider having a senior life planning professional as a part of your team.
A senior life planning consultant can help you navigate conversations with professionals who seem to speak another language. As your loved one gets older, health concerns and financial situations may come up that you’ve never had to deal with before. Besides the stress of these situations, simply trying to understand what the professionals are telling you can be difficult. A senior life planning consultant will be by your side throughout it all, helping you find the best answers for you and your family. Those answers are not always the same as what everyone else does and a senior life planning consultant will know that and find what’s best for your loved one.
Managing finances is another part of caregiving that can be really stressful. Sometimes loved ones are honest about their finances (whether intentionally or accidentally), leaving you left trying to figure out how to pay their bills. A senior life planning professional can step in, review finances, and help you and your loved one improve that bridge of communication. They can also help you find creative resources for financial help and understand what services are necessary and what are not.
If your loved one will need to transition housing in the future, a senior life planning expert can help make that transition smoother as well. Senior life planning consultants can help you determine what health and social needs your loved one will have and what resources are in your area if staying local is important to both of you. They can also help you financially plan for those coming days by managing finances today to be ready for tomorrow.
You want to spend these sunset years with your loved one creating more wonderful memories, sharing the world with them, and exploring new activities together. You probably don’t want to spend hours looking over paperwork and having heated discussions about finances. When you hire a senior life planning provider to help with all the details, you then get to enjoy more time and more fun with your loved one without the worry of what tomorrow will bring.
