Aging Wisely: Proactive Planning (Video)

March 24, 2022

Recorded March 16, 2022

Presentation Summary

Presenter Denise Michaud reviews the financial aspects of having a chronic illness and how to plan for them.

The presentation will focus on:

  • The costs being cared for at home, assisted living facility, and memory care
  • How people manage with this expense
  • Your financial options
  • The significance of planning ahead and the consequences of not planning.
  • How our longevity is changing the types and pricing of the products that insurance companies offer

Denise also brings us up to date on a new government insurance program that would pay for some future long term care expenses. Washington state implemented a mandatory payroll tax for long term care in January 2022. Denise assesses the pros and cons of the Washington plan and reviews the program that could pass in California.
