Supporting Your Aging Parents

Download our Caring for Aging Parents Guide for helpful support and considerations for you and your parent(s).


Caring for your aging parent(s) and their personal finances can bring emotional strain and challenging financial responsibilities. It can be heartbreaking and stressful to watch a loved one’s independence and decision-making capacity diminish. Stepping in to help and protect their finances can be delicate and overwhelming. To help ease this journey, we’ve created a comprehensive Caring for Aging Parents Guide that brings awareness to important financial considerations including:

  • Gaining access to key documents, such as estate plans, and knowing who their financial and legal advisors are.

  • Reviewing your parents’ finances to ensure they can manage their expenses and uncover potential income sources they might not realize.

  • The benefits of having a complete picture of your parents’ assets, liabilities, and overall financial situation.

  • Exploring options to cover long-term care costs, including Medicaid planning and reverse mortgages.

  • Understanding estate tax implications and keeping beneficiary designations and important documents current.

  • Managing taxes efficiently, including medical expense deductions and capital gains.

While checklists and flowcharts can help you identify different opportunities, we are always available to meet with you to discuss your financial needs and goals, and help to identify what the best opportunities are for you.
