Caregiving Tips

Guidance on how to properly care for your loved ones as they navigate through the aging process

Start thinking about some of the difficult legal and financial issues you may face as a caregiver.

If your loved one goes into a nursing home, how will they afford it? Would you sell their house? How does power of attorney work? Do they have a will? Tackling these issues can be upsetting. But it's best to know the details so you're not taken by surprise. Talk to a geriatric care manager, a social worker, an elder law attorney, or get in touch with a caregivers' organization.
