Consider…
• If you had all of the time in the world
– how would you want to spend it?
• Enjoying your hobbies?
• Spending time with your family?
• Volunteering?
Unfortunately, when we live a long life, we may get sick.
We’re fortunate that we may live a long life.
Living a long life is more of a reality today.
Planning for that long life is a necessity.
Long term care is not only about you.
It’s about you and your family.
Four types of people:
“There are only four kinds of people in the world:
those who have been caregivers;
those who are currently caregivers;
those who will be caregivers;
and those who will need caregivers.”
Former First LadyRosalynn Carter
Excerpt from “Helping Yourself Help Others: A Book for Caregivers” with Susan K. Golant
