The financial impact of dealing with a serious illness can be devastating. Even everyday medical expenses, such as prescription drug costs and routine medical services can add up over time. It seems that long-term care is closer and closer to home. We either have someone in our own family that needs care or we have a friend or acquaintance that is dealing with this situation. These personal exposures force us to reflect on our own family’s preparedness.

In this episode, we take a look at the emotional and financial impact of care giving, average health care expenses, and how to use the family business to maintain dignity and preserve family harmony through difficult situations.
