A critical area of planning for later life involves decisions made concerning health and long-term care needs. The “Resource Center for Families” Web site (http://www.financinglongtermcare.umn.edu/) offers unbiased, proven information with no financial or long-term care products to sell. Start with the “conversation starters” to learn what to talk about and for suggestions for beginning your critical conversations. You’ll also find up-to-date information on long-term care risks, costs, and financing alternatives. Interactive planning and assessment tools, fact sheets, myths and facts, and an online self-study are examples of additional resources you will find to help begin your critical conversations.
