Family caregiving and Long-Term Care Planning – a combined approach! Long-Term Care Planning for Seniors with Family Support is like considering family caregiving as part of the overall LTC plan. Many seniors rely on family members for some level of care and support. LTC insurance and other resources can supplement family caregiving, providing financial assistance and professional services to support both the senior and the family caregiver. The twist? It’s about teamwork and combining formal and informal care resources. Planning for LTC with family support involves open communication, clear roles and responsibilities, and ensuring caregivers have the resources and support they need to avoid burnout. Actionable Tip: Appreciate the contributions of family caregivers and understand the challenges of caregiving. Supporting family caregivers is important for family well-being and the healthcare system as a whole.
