But if your mom or dad does and you feel like they're being listened to, then it could be the right match.
We have to make sure that the person is a licensed professional.
You can't just hold yourself out as a geriatric care manager.
There are certifications for geriatric care managers, the Alzheimer's Association or the Parkinson's Foundation or the American Cancer Society.
They are excellent resources for professionals who are licensed and vetted.
We call that supportive care in my world, which are all of the other things outside of the actual medical care.
Well, when you turn 18, Jonathan, your parents can't do things for you, right?
So let's start back there.
When you have a child that has graduated high school and they're on to their next thing, whatever that is, once they're 18, they need advanced directives.
And those advanced directives are powers of attorney and healthcare documents to say who can speak for them.
And so if you think about...
your aging parents it's really important that they have those documents because at the other end there's a possibility that they will not have the requisite mental capacity to manage their own affairs so it's really important to have those documents in place before they have capacity issues and so when when people say when is the right time to have those documents i say 18 and i'm only half kidding
But let's say you are in middle life and your parents haven't done this kind of planning.
I think going back to what we touched on briefly before is that we want to know what our parents want.
And so maybe putting the ball on their court and saying, this is the way for you to maintain control, mom or dad, you get to choose.
Do you want me to manage the money?
Do you want my brother?
Do you want us to take it on jointly?
Who's the right person in the healthcare situation, mom?
Is it my sister who panics when she sees blood?
