Longer life spans mean that, statistically, adult children will spend as much time caring for aging parents as they do for their own children. They both face many challenges as they deal with the emotional, financial, and legal aspects of long-term care decisions. These decisions straddle several different arenas that have competing rules and families can face unnecessary emotional and financial costs when they make the “wrong” decision because they did not understand their options. This workshop provides an overview of the factors families should consider for the care and safety of their parent and their assets while protecting the child from parental debts. It covers the essential directives families should have in place to ensure agents are authorized to act for the parent. It also addresses Medicare and Medicaid rules, care management, guardianship and other factors that can arise when a parent declines mentally or physically. Speaker: Candace M.
