Elder Care: How It Impacts Your Client, Your Business and You
The cost and face of eldercare has changed dramatically in just one
generation. The days of the non-working housewife as the no cost elder
caregiver are almost gone forever. Eldercare is not just affecting
women, men are increasingly assuming these responsibilities. It is also
more appropriate to say that personal savings isn't for retirement
anymore. It's for long term care. Eldercare responsibilities are
estimated to cost corporations $34 billion annually in lost
productivity. Here's what you need to know for your clients, your
business, and you.

What Will Retirement Look Like for You?
Not only does retirement look different from prior generations, so too do the retirement years. Emotional well-being, social engagements, health status, and financial resources will all impact your quality of life when you are retired, and all of these are lifestyle choices. You have more control over your retirement years than you think but you need to plan ahead as the responsibility is primarily yours, not the Government's. Start your thinking, planning, and acting by asking questions of a panel of aging and retirement experts.
