Connect Our Elders-"Empowering Aging"
Connect Our Elders believes that to appropriately care for our Nation’s Elders it is not enough to just look at things in a compartmentalized manner as issues arise.We must be proactive in educating our Elders about adequate planning as far as finances, estate planning, trusts, etc in addition to letting them know proactively about all of the various levels of care on the continuum, how they work together, how each is paid for, as well as the community resources, technology solutions, and other benefits such as veterans benefits that exist.We feel strongly that direct to consumer education for the (Elder themself and their inner circle which encompasses family and advisors) needs to be drastically improved.“Empowering Aging” virtual events are one aspect of Connect Our Elders. We bring together various experts from the continuum of care alongside legal/financial professionals so as to educate and transparently paint a picture for people of why proactive planning in all areas of one’s’ life is crucial.Connect Our Elders, in addition to believing so strongly in direct to consumer education, partners with home care agencies, care managers, senior housing placement processionals (not direct to communities as we believe families deserves to have the on-ground experts facilitating tours to various communities and the on-ground placement professionals truly understand the differentiators of each community option), legal/financial professionals so as to help Elders and their inner circle navigate and get connected to experts in each area.Simply providing a list of resources to these families is not adequate. It does nothing to reduce overwhelm. However, making a confident, professional, direct recommendation does. Families all across our Nation need us to lead!www.connectourelders.com
