Abstract:

Families face important eldercare issues when older adults lose functional independence. These decisions can have a significant impact financially as well as on the quality of life of older adults. Today families pay thousands of dollars each month for decision making and eldercare management services (ie, care management, in-home care, etc). In this discussion, Jack will cover the specific challenges that families pay service providers today to address.
