Testimonial

"Care For Life had taken wonderful care of my mother before she died. When we decided to move my dad in with us, we remembered the great relationship with Care For Life and the good caregivers, and the receptionist Delores' caring responses on the phone. The decision to choose Care For Life to help with dad's needs is an easy one to make."

Long Term Planning

Posted by: admin | Date Apr 12

Here is an article from one of our recent newsletter.

Are you content with your lifestyle and want to assure that you will be financially able to age in place ?

Now that you have seen how your parents’ long term care needs are impacting their lifestyle, are you wondering how you will manage your
long term needs?

Focus on your finances!

The average cost for a nursing home is about $6,350 per month. Persons who receive care at home spend an average of just $1,600 per month. Putting a financial plan in place can help preserve both your savings and your peace of mind. There are many ways to plan. Once effective way is to purchase long term care insurance.  Some people use their “home to stay at home” by utilizing a reverse mortgage fully guaranteed by the Federal Housing Authority. Others plan to downsize in square footage as they age.  Care For Life can refer you to community resources for detailed information.
