my advice to people thinking about
00:06
long-term care is
00:08
to start with simply think about it so
00:10
many people put off even considering
00:13
what that would look like to them or
00:15
what they should do about it because
00:16
it’s not a topic most people want to
00:18
think about we don’t want to think about
00:20
what’s going to happen when we’re old
00:22
and frail and unable to care for
00:24
ourselves so just spend some time
00:26
thinking about what you want
00:29
long-term care for you to look like and
00:32
then reach out to an attorney and
00:35
think about
00:36
how can we put that into practice so
00:38
when i’m meeting with a client who is
00:41
kind of coming to me early on we have a
00:44
lot more options to explore for what
00:47
what we can put in place to help achieve
00:49
whatever goals they have for long-term
00:50
care which is not to say that you
00:52
couldn’t come last minute when
00:54
somebody’s going in the nursing home
00:55
tomorrow i mean we do still have options
00:57
we help people in that position all the
00:59
time but i think if you have that option
01:01
the further out you can think about it
01:03
and come to us the more we’ll be able to
01:04
help you with that
