prepare for life's events: providing elder care
Your parents were there as you took your first steps, they held your hand as they brought you to your first day of school and they walked alongside as you rode your bicycle without training wheels for the first time. They guided you as you grew up, established a career and started your own family.

Now it's time for you to be there for them. What would happen if one or both of your parents became ill or unable to care for themselves? What if they needed extensive care? It may be appropriate to discuss their wishes before the time comes when you have to make decisions for them.

Because care in a nursing home or retirement community can be costly, you may want to talk to them about purchasing long term care insurance.
