We don’t wait for retirement to start financial planning, so why wait for illness for health planning?
PHCA formed in response to the growing needs of an aging population and diminishing resources. We believe in empowering to families to have access to information, options and discussions around health care wishes and planning prior to crisis. We are concerned about caregiver stress and burnout with our aging population and the rise of dementia illnesses as a result of longevity.
Our goal is to support aging parents and the “sandwich generation” to take advantage of the windows of opportunity to plan and get prepared for upcoming challenges. Health planning creates the strong foundation for effective and comprehensive strategies that minimize crisis and keep families together in difficult times.
We believe that families deserve support and guidance to understand the options available in both the public and private sectors so that they can make the best decisions for health treatments, Aging in Place vs. independent or assisted living, accessing resources and having the financial means to support their wishes. Legal advice and documentation will ensure that wishes are respected, family conflict is minimized, and death can occur with dignity.
