Long-Term Care Planning and Resources

Having a great checklist is helpful; and understanding all of the resources available will be key to the planning process. Did you know there are Federal or State programs such as: VA, Federal & Uniformed Services; the CARES, Ombudsman, and partnership programs; along with other resources that can guide a beneficiary and loved ones through the process. There is a self-assessment guide, a consumer guide; steps on choosing a nursing home or other long-term care providers, a shoppers guide for choosing long term care insurance and ideas on how to use your home to stay at home. It is also important to share your wishes with family members about future medical care, therefore, having advance directives, living wills, health care proxies, Five Wishes, and POA's in place are key to preparing for future health care needs.
