Mom, Dad & My Credit Card Bill! - Episode 486

How are you handling the rising cost of health care for your parents? How can you talk to your mother & father about the rising costs of health care and senior living? Should your parents age at home or in an assisted living facility? This week, Shawn & George talk to Rachel Aguanno, owner of Home Care Assistance Tampa Bay.  Rachel's company assists seniors to live at home. Rachel was a HUGE help to Shawn when his wife was in hospice at home at the end of 2023. Specifically, we talk about: Care-giving as a side job; What a home care assistance company can or cannot do; Any tax breaks, insurance, government programs, or veteran benefits available to help pay for home health care; Hospice v. Home Health Care v Assisted Living; Expenses people don't think about; and other budget considerations. Rachel can be reached at [email protected] or her website www.HomeCareAssistanceTampaBay.com.  Let us know if you enjoy this episode and, if so, please share it with your friends!
