For many women, caring for aging parents can happen during an already demanding season of life, while they are still working, supporting family, and planning for their own future.
A good place to start is having early conversations with your parents about their care wishes, legal documents, insurance, income, savings, debts, and key professional contacts.
It is also helpful to understand that Medicare generally does not cover long-term custodial care, so families may want to plan for costs through savings, long-term care insurance, home equity, Medicaid, or paid care options.
Many caregivers find it useful to review workplace benefits, such as FMLA or paid family leave, and to create a written family plan so responsibilities and expenses are clear.
Most importantly, caregiving may be easier to navigate when it's planned in a way that helps your parents receive the care they need without putting your own retirement or financial security at risk.
