We don’t want to think about our loved ones growing old. Because of this denial, we put off talking with them and planning for the future. We are unprepared to assume the role of caregiver for our aging loved ones, often leading to decisions made in a crisis rather then by choice.

The Challenge - Families are hesitant to talk about how they will care for their loved ones as they age.

Parents are not always open to discussing financial, legal, and long term-care issues. Children are hesitant to bring these up, anticipating resistance. Parents want a voice in the planning, but without the conversation, the wishes of the parents are not discussed.
