Why Advance Planning Matters
Reduces Stress and Uncertainty
When a care plan is already in place, families can avoid the stress of making rushed decisions. Early planning allows time to explore options, ask questions, and ensure the right support is available when it’s needed most.
Honours Your Loved One’s Wishes
Planning in advance gives older adults the chance to express their wishes and be active participants in decisions about their care and living arrangements.
Aligns Family Expectations
Having open conversations with loved ones helps ensure all family members are informed and in agreement—reducing misunderstandings and supporting collaboration.
Improves Financial Preparedness
Thinking ahead helps families understand care-related costs and gives them time to explore financial support such as veterans’ benefits, private insurance, or government programs.
Getting Started with In-Home Care Planning
Here are a few steps to help you begin the planning process:
- Talk with your loved one about their preferences and concerns
