Is it possible to keep seniors home for life? Families across the nation struggle with health care decisions for aging loved ones every day. Many seniors and families are faced with premature institutionalization when they are left to rely on the government (Medicaid) to pay for their long-term care needs. Today families are learning that there are other solutions.
In an effort to help families learn about other options and programs available to almost all seniors, registered nurse and author Valerie VanBooven has released her latest book, "The Senior Solution: A Family Guide to Keeping Seniors Home For Life!", published by LTC Expert Publications, LLC.
"Seniors and their family members are not aware of many other programs that may be helpful in keeping seniors in their own home. Everyone wants to 'age in place,' maintaining their independence and choice. 'The Senior Solution' is designed to point families and seniors in that direction," states VanBooven.
Long-term care insurance is a planning option, but often many seniors do not qualify because of poor health or feel that the premiums are unaffordable. Valerie says, "Although purchasing long-term care insurance is always the best planning solution, it's not always possible."
"The Senior Solution" shows seniors how to afford long-term care insurance without touching a PENNY of their savings, investments or current income. If long-term care insurance is not an option, "The Senior Solution" educates seniors about other programs like Home Equity Conversion Mortgages used to pay for private in-home care, VA Aid and Attendant Services Pension options, Personal Emergency Response Systems, the Five Wishes, and much more.
"The Senior Solution" is Valerie VanBooven's second book. She released her first book - "Aging Answers" in October 2003. Since then Valerie has been quoted in Time Magazine, various AP articles, and has appeared multiple times on NBC's "The Today Show" and CNNFN's "Your Money" with Ali Veshi. She has also been interviewed on hundreds of radio programs across the country.
"The Senior Solution" is available for pre-publication orders, and should be fully available by the end of July 2007. You can find the book at Amazon. com, or at any of the websites below.
