Everything We Wish We Knew About Senior Living Sooner (Part 2) with Christen Bergeron

This week on Mind What Matters, Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach continue their conversation with senior living expert Christen Bergeron, this time digging into one of the hardest and most overwhelming parts of caregiving: the cost.With over 25 years of experience in senior living, Christen helps families understand what care can actually look like financially, from assisted living and memory care to in-home support. They talk about the realities many families are shocked to discover in real time: Medicare does not pay for long-term care, Medicaid has limits and requirements, and the monthly cost of support can quickly become impossible without a plan.Liz, Nikki, and Christen also discuss the emotional weight of these decisions, especially when families are already exhausted, scared, and trying to do the right thing. From power of attorney and legal documents to researching care options before you need them, this episode is a practical and compassionate reminder that planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts we can give our future selves and the people we love.Check out the "Free Guide to Navigate Senior Living" here:https://www.navigatingseniorliving.co/questionsguideTo learn more about Mind What Matters or to support our mission head to our website.Connect with us on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo learn more about Mind What Matters or to support our mission head to our website.
