Why Advance Planning Is So Important
Reduces Stress and Uncertainty
When a plan is already in place, families can avoid the anxiety of last-minute decisions. Early planning gives everyone involved time to explore non-medical support options and discuss preferences.
Ensures Your Loved One’s Voice Is Heard
Planning ahead gives aging adults a chance to express their wishes and participate in meaningful conversations about their future support at home.
Helps Align Family Expectations
Talking through care responsibilities in advance helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures all family members are on the same page.
Supports Financial Preparation
Planning early helps families better understand costs related to in-home support. It also creates space to look into financial resources, such as long-term care insurance or veterans’ benefits.
How to Start Planning for In-Home Support
These steps can help your family begin the conversation:
- Talk with your loved one about daily living needs and goals
- Include family members early in the discussion
- Reach out to a local Home Instead office to learn about non-medical support
- Schedule a no-obligation consultation with our team in Mansfield
