Next Steps
Our season of life is filled with changes as mates, siblings, and parents experience physical challenges and face new lifestyle decisions. All of us need help as we navigate this new season and the myriad of options available. Can the family member live at home? Will they need an assisted living facility or nursing home? Is it time to consider hospice?
View a message from Diana Ferrell to understand why it's critical for you to answer these questions sooner than later.

I NEED SOME HELP
Evidence suggests that the top concerns – and cause of anxiety – are:
- Comparison Information – I need to know what our care and housing options are, but more specifically, I want to know what the best option is for my loved one.
- Location – I want to live or work in close proximity to the chosen care location (whatever that choice ends up being) because I want to continue interacting as much as possible with my loved one.
- How to pay – What are our funding options and how do we pay for care?
- Referrals and information – I need to know who I can get credible, reliable and timely information from in order to make a decision.
