Elder care planning is a comprehensive strategy that helps define a senior’s wishes and assists designated caregivers and/or advocates in handling the physical, personal and financial affairs of a senior aging into the last phases of life. Ideally, family members (or designated friends) should be included in the planning stages, particularly when they will be participating as a caregiver or advocate for the senior. Long-term care (LTC) is just one segment, though a very important segment of total elder care planning. Unfortunately, families often avoid discussing the topic of LTC, as well as other elder care issues; but in reality, these may be the most important discussions a family can have.
