Hidden Truths About Retirement And Long Term Care: The Financial Advisors Guide
By Carolyn L. Rosenblatt, R.N., Elder Law Attorney, & Dr. Mikol Davis, Geriatric Psychologist, Founders of AgingInvestor.com
First of its kind! This book reveals the truths your clients need to know about the real cost of care in their retirement years. You have aging clients now and their numbers will rise over time. This goes deeper into the risks of needing care, and the myth that Medicare of Medicaid will take care of what most people need as they age. Written by aging experts Carolyn Rosenblatt, RN, Elder law attorney and Dr. Mikol Davis, geriatric psychologist, it offers you a wealth of knowledge you will not find from within your own industry. If you, the financial professional want to add value to what you offer clients and to distinguish yourself from robo advisors, you need to be well informed with the facts any retired person must have. Remove the vagueness from the discussion. Get some sample scripts on how to bring up the subject and the words to say to them. Stop using “average out of pocket medical costs a retired couple will spend in retirement” as a measure of what they will need. It is grossly inadequate to inform them about long term care, which is not “medical” at all. You can find out more by clicking here. Don’t wait to increase your comfort with the sticky issues no one wants to face–aging takes its toll. In reading this book, you will be able to navigate the conversation with skill and grace.
