Planning Ahead for Long-Term Care

How to Prepare While You Still Can

Category: Planning & Retirement

Length: 30–60 minutes, flexible

What This Talk Covers

Few things disrupt retirement like the sudden need for long-term care—especially when there’s no plan in place. In this talk, Steven explains what long-term care really looks like for today’s families, why it’s so expensive, and how to plan for it in advance without panic or pressure. He outlines the key elements of a proactive care plan: financial strategies, legal documents, family communication, and the importance of making decisions while you’re still healthy. This is a wake-up call—not a scare tactic—for anyone who wants to protect their loved ones and maintain dignity in the face of life’s later transitions.

Why This Topic Matters

Too many families are caught off guard by a care crisis that could have been managed. When there’s no plan, loved ones must scramble—emotionally, financially, and legally. This talk helps retirees take control while they still can, turning a potential crisis into a wise, loving act of preparation.

What Setting Is Best

This talk is designed to be accessible, engaging, and informative in any setting — whether you’re hosting a formal educational workshop or a casual community gathering.

Ideal venues include:

  • Retirement workshops and financial education events
  • Senior living communities and outreach programs
  • Church-based stewardship or family planning sessions
  • Community centers focused on proactive aging

All I need is a quiet space, a place to project slides (optional), and a group of people ready to learn. I tailor the delivery style to fit your audience’s comfort level and questions.
