Every year 225,000 Canadians turn 65; approximately 50% of these will need some form of long term care after age 75.* The problem is, however, that too few of us can answer the following care questions: If something were to suddenly happen, who would take care of my loved one? How would I or my loved one pay for that care? The vast majority of us want to age with dignity and control. But that takes long term care planning, and this planning— which involves more than just money—needs to be a part of every financial and/or retirement plan written today.
This session will include information on:
- The Care Continuum – Long Term Care Options, Costs, Services
- The Role of Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs)
- LTC Facility Admission Process
- The Role of Governments
- Long Term Care Funding Options/Government Subsidy
- For Profit Vs. Not-For-Profit Care Facilities
- Summary—Your Action Plan
- Long Term Care And COVID-19
Ample resources will also be provided. After the 1 hour and 15 minute presentation, the facilitator will be available for 15 minutes to answer questions.
