Families are not talking about care needs, caregiver burnout, the costs of care, dementia, other disease progressions, and they aren’t putting proactive plans in place. If you find yourself in this predicament, you need to listen to our ”Tired” podcast series

- "Having those memories of happiness, when this journey is over, is what you truly get to hold in your heart as special. It allows you to create happiness and joy out of a very challenging situation." - Kathy Shoaf
- "Just because we have a diagnosis doesn't mean we can't still have fun. Is it a challenge? Oh, yes. But it's incredibly worth it to make those amazing memories with your loved ones, be they your parents, spouse, aunt, or any other relationship." - Kathy Shoaf
- "Let's try something unique and different. We have many conversations about neuroplasticity, opening up new pathways with senses that are different, new, and exciting. It does increase the ability to be alert and the opportunities to still see mom happy." - Kathy Shoaf
- A diagnosis like dementia doesn't mean the end of precious moments. You can still create unforgettable memories with your loved ones.
- Planning for the golden years is crucial. Having essential documents, like powers of attorney, ready for any health-related changes can make a world of difference.
- Caregivers need to remember to take care of themselves too. It's perfectly okay to take time for yourself and ask for help when you need it.
- There are tons of resources out there for caregivers, from educational seminars to support groups, even customized care options for when you're traveling. These resources can also help create a supportive community for you.
- Even as diseases progress, it's important to remember that joy can still be found. Adapted activities and equipment, along with partnerships between organizations, can provide unique support to families dealing with dementia and memory impairment.

Mistakes to Avoid When Filing LTC Claims
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Dr. Stana Martin earned her PhD at the University of Texas at Austin and taught for many years at various Universities.
For nearly 20 years, Dr. Martin has been in the long term care insurance arena. She had a need for long term care services and left her full time university teaching to help families better prepare for this time in life. As her clients aged and went on claim, it became clear that the claim process was more document intensive than most claimants could manage on their own.
Further, she found that the adult children were typically swamped with managing the care itself. Few of them understood the process of a claim or had the energy to “wrangle” all the documents necessary to get a claim paying. She would be the first to defend insurance companies’ need to do due diligence. Sadly, fraud is as rampant in this industry as it is in any industry.
Dr. Martin exists to serve families as they face care and need help understanding the contract and/or filing the claim. Her personal passion is to help families whether this season of life better. Helping people get the money they need from their policies is one more tool to meet that goal.
