Two Key Learnings
1. Waiting for a crisis dramatically limits choices.
Most families delay senior care conversations until a fall, illness, or emergency forces action. By that point, decisions are rushed, emotions are high, and families often lose the ability to honor a loved one’s true preferences. Planning earlier preserves options, clarity, and control.
2. Families consistently underestimate both time and cost.
Many caregivers believe they have months or even a year to plan, yet most end up making care decisions within 60 days. At the same time, the majority of families do not understand the real cost of care and mistakenly assume Medicare or Medicaid will cover it. This gap between expectation and reality creates unnecessary stress.
One Action Step
Start the conversation now by asking one simple question:
“Mom, Dad, if something changed with your health, where would you want to live and who would you want involved in helping you?”
You don’t need all the answers. You just need to open the door. That single conversation can shift your family from crisis response to thoughtful planning.
