“Stop Talking About Nursing Homes”

 

“Stop Talking About Nursing Homes,” by Bill Comfort, ThinkAdvisor

“Proactive, advanced planning for extended care is preparation for staying out of a nursing home, by making enough private-pay dollars available — through insurance or insurance combined with a client’s own income and assets — to pay for home care, or for assisted living or residential memory care, when home care is not possible or no longer practical. Advisors shouldn’t focus the extended care planning conversation on a recitation of scary statistics and the highest possible cost of care in a nursing home.”
