(Available on Amazon.com) We’ve all enjoyed a good laugh at the
perils of getting older. But entering your Golden Years without any money is no
joke. End-of life planning is a difficult subject to talk about - between
facing mortality (either your parents or your own) to discussing the
ever-confusing subject revolving around long term care options or understanding
the differences between Medicare and Medicaid, or a living will vs. a living
trust, there’s nothing fun about facing death and the issues that come with it.
Navigating the Eldercare Journey –
Without Going Broke! can help reduce the challenges and minimize frustration
encountered when you are placed in this situation. This easy-to-understand
guide takes you from the basics of understanding long term care options that
are available, how to seek out an elder care attorney and know if they are good
fit for your needs, and how to qualify for Medicaid as a financial means to pay
for care, including the benefits of funeral planning - in layman’s terms.
Author Jodi M. Clock provides fundamental information regarding the basics in a
way that helps you understand not only why her recommendations are important,
but how you can minimize financial exposure regarding end-of-life events.
Whether you are in a crisis situation or taking proactive measures, these
valuable end-of-life solutions could safeguard you and your parents’ assets.
You have a choice – be proactive and
preserve your money. Don’t leave it unprotected and unnecessarily taxed when
you or your parents die. No matter how prepared you think you are, the reality
of death is sobering, and expensive. When time is on your side, you can make
well- thought-out, proactive decisions, enabling you to focus on what’s most
important in life.
