Description

This week on Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, Wendy sits down with Brooke Acre - independent financial advisor, NFLPA-certified planner, and long-term care expert to talk about the one topic everyone avoids until it’s too late: long-term care planning. 

Brooke brings 20+ years of experience and a whole lot of heart as she breaks down:

  • Why 70% of people will need care as they age
  • Why Medicare doesn’t cover what most families assume it does
  • How to avoid the financial and emotional crisis that blindsides families
  • The #1 mistake people make with traditional LTC policies (and how to avoid it)
  • A modern approach to LTC planning that protects both spouses, preserves assets, and even leaves a legacy
  • Real-life stories that show exactly why planning early matters

Wendy and Brooke also unpack the tough questions families fight about:

Who makes the decisions? Where does the care happen? How do you pay for it? And what happens when siblings disagree?

If you want peace of mind instead of panic mode, this episode is an eye-opener.
