Most Baby Boomers are Unprepared to Care For Aging Parents | The Intentional Caregiver

Yesterday, I was fortunate to be able to interview Mr. Jeff Huber, President of Home Instead Senior Care, the largest provider of in-home care services for seniors in the world and was the first company to offer franchise opportunities.

Most professionals involved with eldercare are aware that adult children are not prepared to care for their parents when they receive “that call” that throws them into the caregiving role.  But the Home Instead Senior Care network  wanted to learn more about that and so in conjunction with The Boomer Project, a study of 600 baby boomer aged adults was conducted. 

The results surprised me:

  • Less than 50% were knowledgeable about their parents’ medical history
  •  49% were unable to name any of their parents’ current medications
  • More than 30% did not know just how many medications their parent(s) was taking

Thank you Shelley for bringing attention to this critical topic. It is a phone call we will each be getting eventually. It is much better to be prepared.

More Information on This Aging in Place Idea « Design With the Future In Mind

Over the last little while, I have been filling you in on Elsie and John, a senior couple who live in their fifty year old home but are choosing to look for a home that they can live safely and comfortably in through their mature senior years. 

Recently, while visiting with their friends Tilly and Harold, another mature senior couple, they discussed their search. Harold mentioned he has been seeing more and more information on this Aging in Place idea.

John explained how Aging in Place is making the news lately because so many homeowners are in the same boat as they are: their home is nice to look at but it just isn’t functional for them as they are becoming more mature seniors. Remodelers, builders and homeowners are beginning to take notice of the need to prepare the homes for ease of living when seniors reach their later years. He further stressed that they were not interested in a home that felt institutional but it did need to be safe, comfortable and low maintenance.

Q&A When Looking for an Elder Law Attorney

Ask lots of questions before selecting an Elder Law or Special Needs Law attorney. You don't want to end up spending time and resources with an attorney who can't help you. Start with an initial phone or email correspondence. You may speak with a secretary, receptionist or office manager during the initial call or before you actually meet with the attorney. If so, ask this individual pertinent questions regarding the attorney's practice. Suggested questions are provided below

  • How long has the attorney been in practice?
  • Does his/her practice focus on a particular area of law?
  • How long has he/she focused on the particular area of law?
  • What percentage of his/her practice is devoted to Elder Law or Special Needs Law? 
  • Is there a fee for the first consultation with the attorney, and if so, how much is it?
  • Given the nature of your case, what specific information/documentation should you bring to the initial consultation?
