The Truth about Senior Living Healthcare Options

No one likes to consider the possibility of ever having to move to a “nursing home” or long-term healthcare community.

It is for this reason that few people do any advance planning or investigation into these or alternative options.

While only a small percentage of Americans live in a nursing home providing extended full-time care, studies show that 70% or more of people over age 65 will need at least some level of assistance and care during their lifetime.

In this seminar we explore local residential healthcare options including in home care, palliative care, hospice, assisted living and long term-care.

The Truth about Owning and Selling Real Estate

As we age, so do the homes we own. We get many questions about what do with the current home when downsizing.

At this seminar panelists answered questions such as:

• When downsizing, should I buy or rent my next home? And should I move near family and/or friends?

• Should I keep my current home as a rental property or even a vacation property when I move?

• In this low interest rate environment would a rental property make for alternative stream of income?

• If I did rent my house for income and move into an apartment, what agencies or companies are out there? Are they reliable to manage my property both financially and for upkeep? What are the tax implications?

They made it so simple for us

Our Dad’s neighbor and friend used the Junells and referred them to my brother and me. We live out of state and were handling our father’s estate. The house was filled with belongings, some of which we were taking with us, others we were working on what to do. We met with Annette who suggested we leave everything at the house we did not want and she would take care of it. Since the donation company did not show up to take our Dad’s vehicles, we even left those at the house too. Once my brother and I flew back to our respective homes, Annette and her team “staged” the home with the items that were left and put the home on the market. They took care of selling not only the house but all the items inside the home. We chose to work with Annette and her team because they made it so simple for us. We were able to walk away and they took care of all the details. They also kept us informed throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend their services.
