How to Stay at Home While Planning for Reliable Long-Term Care

Seventy percent of people turning age 65 can expect to need some form of long-term care during their lives, usually due to contributing factors such as age, gender, health status, disability, and living arrangements, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. This underlines the importance of thoughtful planning. That’s why Friends Life Care has created a free, interactive resource to help adults decide how to plan for their future and what resources they’ll really need.

During the pre-retirement years, many people start asking themselves questions like, “When can I retire?” “Is long-term care insurance worth it?” and “What is aging in place?” We are a resource to help ease that burden. Our Aging in Place Kit will guide you through a retirement planning checklist and compare long-term care options, from no plan at all to a Continuing Care Retirement Community, long-term care insurance, and aging in place.

In your kit, you’ll receive a Readiness Guide for aging in place, comparison charts for different long-term care options, the interactive Five Wishes workbook, information on milestone birthdays, testimonials from a couple who are aging in place and sharing their experience, and much more.
