Cost-cutting Ideas for Elder-care

 

Caring for aging relatives can be extremely challenging, emotionally and financially. Often times one’s savings are quickly depleted.

 

Expert help may be available through your own employer. Some employers may have an employee assistance or work-life benefit program available that can help put you in touch with a professional geriatric care manager. You can also find one on your own through the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers.

 

You can also take advantage of state, federal and private organizations that offer adult day care centers, home visitation programs, and free or reduced-priced home delivered meals. The local agency for aging online at www.eldercare.gov can help.

 

Also, there are a variety of resources online at AARP’s Benefits Quick Link site to assist with payment for health care, medicine and food. Community or faith-based organizations also can help with some of the aforementioned issues.
