Each one of us faces a unique journey towards aging. In some cases, that journey - at least the later phases of the journey - will likely be alone. For people with no children, spouse or close familial support, there is no other option other than contemplating the prospect of navigating their later years largely on their own. It's a sobering realization that many "Solo Agers" grapple with.The 2021 U.S. Census Bureau report shed light on this demographic truth: 16.5 percent of American adults aged 55 and older, totaling 15.2 million individuals, find themselves in a similar position of being childless. Yet, our societal structures heavily rely on familial support networks for the elderly and disabled. A staggering 89 percent of the nearly 48 million informal caregivers in the U.S. are family members, providing crucial assistance and care coordination.However, the stark reality is that not everyone has a spouse, child, or close relative to rely on for support in their golden years. Distance, circ*mstances, and personal choices often leave individuals without the familial safety net that society assumes will be there for them. As we journey through life, planning for our later years is a universal necessity. However, for "Solo Agers", the need to think ahead becomes even more urgent. The brief article below covers a few key components that "Solo Agers" should be focused on when planning for their futures.https://lnkd.in/ebdqC7an

As someone without children, I used to often wonder what would happen to us when we grew too old to care for ourselves? That gnawing question was largely the impetus to joining Nurse Next Door and launching Nurse Next Door, Pinellas. What Nurse Next Door offers its clients is more than just home care services. Any company can do ADLs, light house keeping, bathing, dressing, etc.. Nurse Next Door asks every client a simple question, "What did you used to love doing that you can no longer do?" Then, we make the answer to that question our mission with that particular client. We seek out creative opportunities to engage our clients in doing those very things they enjoy most; the things that aging seems to have taken from them. That is our Happier Aging philosophy. Happier Aging offers the opportunity to continue to be seen, to continue to matter, to continue to do the things that make life...well, Life! And, now that I have Nurse Next Door, Pinellas I don't fret as much about what will happen in my golden years!#Bethechange #NurseNextDoor #HappierAging #SoloAgers #PlanforAging

"Wealth" is About More Than MoneyFor Millennials who have aging parents, who are entering the age 65 or older Medicare age, I always recommend establishing a trusted relationship. This way that person can always be a resource, so that if your aging parent all of a sudden has cognitive impairment or there’s things going on and they don’t know how to navigate the situation, a really good Medicare specialist, while they’re not necessarily going to be a social worker and can work through all these problems, they can be a nice point of contact. They are great for determining what coverages are available through the policy they purchased. Identifying whether or not they qualify for Medicaid. Even a wealth adviser like us TEN Capital could be a great resource to navigate these questions. We work with that 2nd generation all the time to help cover and navigate the aging demographic population. Especially through personal experiences that we’ve all had ourselves.#weeklyten
