October 9, 2013 By Shelley Zurek 6 Comments

Step 3.  This search will take you to the AARP site with a summary section with Long Term Care figures and locations with information powered by Genworth Financial. You will get results based on the choices you made in Step 2. You can further filter by using the choices on the left hand sidebar.

Isn’t it great to have a resource like this to search out your options?

Long Term Care Involves Expense and Emotion

The expense and emotion of Long Term Care can be overwhelming.  As you go about finding Long Term Care providers in your state, you must also consider how you will pay these for these resources.  I previously wrote about costs of Long Term Care in your State, which you may find helpful.  

Carol Ventimiglia, 70, of South Plainfield, N.J., is adamant about having long-term care insurance because she saw both of her parents die, unhappily, in nursing homes. Her father spent much of his savings on his care, and her mother, who had diabetes and developed dementia, ended up on Medicaid and died from a wound infection.

Ms. Ventimiglia wants coverage so she and her husband, Robert, 71, can be cared for at home. They have three adult children, and they don’t want them to have to worry about caring for their parents. “If you’ve ever had anyone in a nursing home, you don’t ever want to go there,” she said. “I’d rather be taken care of at home as long as possible. That’s my wish and his wish, too.”

What type of Long Term Care planning have your started for your family?

    This is a sad thing to have to deal with. Having to put a parent into a nursing home can be heart breaking. But some are very good. Go and check the place out. Look online for reviews. And visit often. See the care.

    We’ve had to deal with this issue. So many decisions. And it is so fraught with emotion. I’ve seen people handle it really well and some that were terrible. Our elderly deserve the best we can give them. And they should prepare so they can take care of themselves. My husband and I have prepared so we will be cared for if we need it.

    Long term care of a parent is something we seldom consider, but our parent’s planning can make a critical difference. Financial planning is part of it as is sharing wishes with family.

    My Mom lived with me at the end of her life, and it is because of her careful financial planning that I could afford to remodel my home to meet her needs. And it is also her clear expression of what she wanted that made the choices my brother and I had to make a lot easier to handle.

    Every single thing you list that is necessary is something we did over the last years, except adult daycare as her illness progressed at break neck speed when she moved here. Seems she just wanted to be with her children. I relate.

    It wasn’t easy, the choices were hard, but having resources and knowing Mom’s wishes before she became very ill made all the difference in so many ways.
