Am I going to have to contribute?
Because if you know off the bat that there are insufficient resources, then you're going to have to look at public benefits.
And public benefits like Medicaid can also provide a tremendous amount of care depending on the state that you're residing in.
So often the care manager plays that role, believe it or not, Jonathan, because they are quite familiar with difficult family dynamics and can be the buffer.
You know, the other thing I'll add is often you need the legal authority.
to help advocate for your aging loved ones.
So making sure that you have the right documents in place for mom or dad so that if they don't have the ability to advocate for themselves, whether in a healthcare setting or a financial setting, that someone else has the ability to raise their hand and manage it for them.
So having the care manager, having the money person
And having the legal authority can really provide you with the good sort of foundation.
So they are licensed.
There are licensed care managers.
And what I will tell you is that the best resource is from other people, knowing what their experience is.
The other great referral opportunity is through the lawyer that is working on the documents for your parents.
I happen to practice in this area of law, and I can tell you I definitely know who the good care managers are.
And then I think the other part of it, Jonathan, is it has to be a personality match within the family.
And what I mean by that is that there are families that have sort of less experience in this area and they're going to need a lot more handholding.
Or perhaps the kids don't live locally.
And so the care manager is going to have to take a much more active role.
And it's really important that that care manager have an excellent rapport with your aging loved one.
So maybe it's not so important that you don't love him or her.
