My Professional Expertise Saved My Mother & the Family $500,000-$1.5M in Care Costs--Preserving Independence, Legacy, and her Advisor's AUM
Professional Mission to Personal Commitment
I was my mom’s primary caregiver for nearly 10 years. I made a commitment to her that I would do what I could to delay or prevent her move to a care facility.
Preserving Assets, Legacy, & AUM
I applied my unique Enabling Design Approach (EDA) to the last 12 years of my mom’s life, and we succeeded in delaying her move to assisted living by 7 years. This was accomplished by making sure she lived in a home that supported her needs and abilities as aged, as well as enabled the provision of in-home care. The result was she lived in her home of choice for as long as possible, did as much as she could herself, and saved an estimated $500,000 to $1.5 million in care costs…she never outlived her money, she was able to leave a sizeable legacy to her children and grandchildren, and preserved her assets with her financial advisor for 7 years until I moved the assets away upon inheritance.
