Have you thought about the impact any long-term care you may need could have on your legacy? Because the cost of long-term care for older Americans is rising, it is important to be prepared by creating a plan to afford the long-term care that you may need in the future. Find out what you can do to protect your legacy for your children this Thursday on our website. #ALElderLaw #TBT #LongTermCare #PlanAhead #EstatePlanning #WillsandTrusts

When vulnerable people are forced to move from their safe haven (home), what happens to their spirit? I'm looking to connect with more providers of care in the home / domicialliary care to make care in the home possible, for longer. WHY? Well...May 4th would have been my grandad's 92nd birthday! I love looking back through photos and enjoying the memories, but the later ones make me feel so sad. His home was his safe place. He always said, "I was born here and I'll die here!" How morbid we all thought, BUT when I birthed my two youngest babies at home, I started to see his point of view. Home is where people should feel relaxed, safe and at their happiest...when all is well. Once Grandad's home was no longer suitable for his needs he went to hospital after hospital, nursing home after nursing home....there just aren't enough spaces to give people the care they need and adaptations aren't always easy. He'd always been sharp, funny and intelligent, loved crosswords and puzzles. Soon that side of him disappeared, his eyes had changed. Now, every week I see houses like this, some with a person's last meal in the sink. People scared to spend on their homes in case they spend their children's inheritence. It drives me to help more families, to steer my company in a direction that can make an even bigger impact when it really matters. So... Yes, it's important to refurbish tired and run down properties to create great quality housing for new families - I'm still continuing with that! Yes, I still love staging properties for sale and helping people get the sale they deserve. But, just like my parents are preparing their home to be a well-planned and adapted property into their twilight years (they're actually spring chickens still), I plan to help other families do the same. To help families understand that spending money on improving a property to enable comfortable living, long into retirement is actually an INVESTMENT... AND in can enable care in the home which protects your property and in my opinion, well-being for longer. Here's my grandad below... on the left after he'd moved to a 'nice' but unfamiliar care home. #feelingblessed #RetirementPlanning #refurbishment #care #domiciliarycare #careinthecommunity #property

Sharing a powerful list and some really great thoughts by Eileen Lawless, MSW: What if we look at the end of life from another angle? Yes, we may be talking about death, but aren’t we also talking about our lives and those we love? Conversations allow us to express our emotions, relish our relationships, define boundaries, devise alternative plans, and offer presence. Conversations attest that your care team will advocate and do their best for you regardless of the diagnosis, event, or future and ensures that you will do the same for those that you love. End-of-life conversations can be incredibly powerful. Discussions about death may involve everyone’s wishes for life; our children, our pets; what is needed to honor our families, our communities, and ourselves. Conversations shed light on what we want for our medical care, legal and financial considerations, estate planning, etc. These conversations ensure a better quality of mind, care, and life for everyone. 🌿 End-of-life conversations can bring about: - Greater clarity and peace of mind. - Fewer disagreements (between family and friends) about crucial decisions. - The ability to dispel myths, worries, and fears about what happens after death. - Greater opportunity to have a voice, especially when we cannot speak for ourselves. - A better handle on challenging emotions and surprising outcomes like laughter and joy. - Designation of whom we wish (and do not wish) to include in our plans and legacies. - Greater ease, access, and support with completing the documents you need for your life. - New ways (and yes, initiatives!) to broach the conversation. This includes storytelling, community events, and even games.

Is it time to consider assisted living support for your loved one? Here are three signs to watch out for: 1️⃣ Struggling with Basic Tasks: Noticeable changes in their ability to manage daily activities like cooking, cleaning, or medication could signal the need for assistance. From relying on TV dinners to neglecting pet care, these challenges may indicate a need for additional support. 2️⃣ Decline in Home Maintenance: If you observe disarray and neglect in their living environment despite efforts to maintain it, it may be time to consider assisted living. Our community provides comprehensive care for those who require more support with daily tasks. 3️⃣ Financial Management Issues: Difficulty managing finances, accumulating past-due notices, or disorganization may indicate memory impairment or cognitive decline. Assisted living offers assistance and oversight to ensure their financial well-being. Transitioning to assisted living can be emotional, but prioritizing the safety and well-being of your aging loved one is crucial. Our vibrant community in Santa Clara, Utah, provides personalized care options and engaging activities to help them thrive.

Father’s Day is more than just a day for gifts; it's a chance to celebrate and honor the vital role fathers and father figures play in our lives. As our dads age, cherishing these moments and showing appreciation for their love, guidance, and sacrifices becomes even more crucial. Here are some important reasons to celebrate the day: 1. Reflection and Gratitude Father’s Day reminds us to reflect on the invaluable contributions our fathers have made. Whether it's teaching us life lessons, providing emotional support, or simply being there, dads hold a special place in our hearts. Expressing gratitude for their unwavering love and support is essential, especially as they age. 2. Strengthening Bonds This day is an opportunity for families to come together, reminisce about cherished memories, and create new ones. Quality time with our dads fosters connection and reinforces the importance of family relationships. These moments of togetherness become even more precious with time, making Father’s Day a cherished tradition. Recognizing Wisdom and Experience As fathers age, they accumulate invaluable wisdom and life experience. Father’s Day is a chance to acknowledge and honor this wisdom, showing appreciation for the lessons learned and guidance provided over the years. Recognizing our fathers' knowledge strengthens family bonds and fosters respect and admiration. 4. Embracing Change As our dads grow older, their needs and preferences may change. Father’s Day is an opportunity to embrace these changes and adapt our celebrations. Whether it's planning activities that accommodate mobility limitations or simply spending time together in a relaxed setting, adjusting our celebrations demonstrates love, compassion, and understanding. As we celebrate Father’s Day, it's essential to consider our fathers' future well-being. Choosing the right senior living option is a significant decision requiring careful consideration. Whether exploring independent living, assisted living, or memory care, prioritizing our seniors' comfort, safety, and quality of life is crucial.
