Pay for help at home
Home care aides can make life a lot more pleasant - they are caring companions who can help us get groceries, cook meals, take care of housekeeping. Aides are also trained to help us manage medications, keep our home safe, and look out for any red flags in our health. But this is not paid for by long-term care insurance, nor Medicare Advantage programs -- those only pay for nurse visits.
You can convert equity in your home into monthly payments for home health care.
Pay for Home Modifications
If you love your home and don't want to ever move into a senior living facility -- you may need to make some changes.
A stair lift, a walk-in shower, a roll-up ramp to the front door, grab bars and lower counters can make living in your home safe.
Learn how to pay for these by converting equity in your home into a safer home for you.

Why I Started "Age-in-Place Finance"
After a career in finance, I started working with home care agencies, geriatric medical groups and day centers for older adults with disability, dementia or chronic illness.
Finance + aging go together. If you're in the sandwich generation, like me, it's a double whammy. Kids are in college, dad needed round-the-clock nursing aides, and mom recovering from stroke. That's a lot of 3- 4- and 5- figure checks out of my checkbook.
At Age-in-Place Finance, I harness my professional network and information resources for you. Try our solutions finder quiz and we'll match you with trusted, ethical advisors for a complimentary talk-it-through consultation.
