Caring for an Aging Spouse or Parent

Caring for an aging spouse or parent is something that many, if not most, of us will face at some time in our lives.  This can appear to be a daunting task but can be made much easier with some prior planning.  This checklist, while not exhaustive, can help families navigate these difficult times by developing a plan that can be put together one piece at a time. 

 

It is highly recommended that health care, legal, and financial planning professionals be consulted during the preparation and implementation of the items found in this document.
