Long-Term Care 101
Sept. 26, 2018
11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Johnston REC, Room 152A
Zoom Access, Will be recorded as well
We will educate you on what long-term care is, how it works, what your options are and what might be a good fit for you.
When you think about “extended care” or “long-term care,” what comes to mind? You might think about wasting away in a nursing home, isolated from friends and family, with no hope of improvement in the quality of your life. The grim image tends to be our immediate association with long-term care, which is one reason why we don’t want to think about or prepare for what will happen to us or our families if we become unable to take care of ourselves.
Today’s Reality
Children typically have their own family and career obligations. Adding the role of caregiver to an already hectic day can take a toll—physically, financially and emotionally.
- It’s not unusual for caregivers to ignore their own health, often becoming ill themselves.
- A child may have to take time off or quit a job altogether in order to care for a parent.
- Children may not live close enough to provide day-to-day care.
- Family conflicts can arise when one child assumes a greater share of caregiving duties.
A long-term care policy can provide funds to help people get the care they need. And that can free their children from the responsibility of becoming a caregiver.
