About this episode

Matt McCann discusses the importance of planning for long term care as we age.

Matt McCann is a lomg term care specialist with a simple but unpleasant lesson for us all. We all need to plan for needing some level of assistance in living as we get older. And there's not really anyone equipped to help you except you. You might wonder why we're discussing this topic on this show. It's a little outside even our generous strike zone. But there are two reasons: 1. It is something that is a universal need. Probably not limited to the USA. 2. It's a significant piece of the the health care issue. which are caches of issues. This is some of the pieces in that mosaic and I hope to cover more of those pieces over time.
