Start Planning Today for the Retirement You Want Tomorrow
Most people in the US plan to retire at age 62 – the earliest eligibility for social security – or at age 65 – the age for Medicare eligibility. Have you decided when you want to shift to retirement, semi-retirement or perhaps an encore career? And have you thought about how you want to spend your free time in the next years or decades?
If you’re like nearly nine in 10 older adults, you look forward to being able to live in your own home when you retire and not move to a facility. You want to stay in a comfortable, familiar space as you enjoy life, whether that means spending more time with family, traveling, volunteering, finding a new hobby, or starting a new business.
Of course, saying you want to enjoy retirement at home is not the same as actually preparing for it. Friends Life Care can help you take steps to ensure you’ll be able to live where and how you want as you age – safely, independently, and with peace of mind even if you need short- or long-term care.
When you become a member of Friends Life Care, you’ll be immediately paired with a wellness and care coordinator who will serve as your personal advocate, and all Friends Life Care services will be available on day one of your membership.
3 Keys to Aging at Home and Maintaining Your Independence
Your Friends Life Care wellness and care coordinator can help you navigate through the critical processes of:
- Smarter Home: Making sure your home is safe for aging in place can help to reduce the risk of injury. With technology and modifications to simplify everyday tasks, your home becomes accessible now and through the years.
- Prevention and Wellness: Having a plan customized to you for staying physically and mentally healthy, socially engaged and maintaining a sense of purpose is an important part of thriving at home as you age. And your Friends Life Care wellness and care coordinator will be there along the way helping to refine and adapt your plan to fit your changing needs.
- Financial Protection: Securing your savings with a financial benefit plan can help to protect you from the high costs of short- and long-term care that you may need as you age.
