Managing Money: A Caregivers Guide to Family Finance

When a loved one is facing dementia, cancer, a disability, other health conditions, or the challenges of aging, families and caregivers often face difficult emotions and decisions—including how to manage their loved one’s finances.

To explore some of the financial challenges facing caregivers, Town & Country is collaborating with the Alzheimer’s Association of Maine to offer a virtual education session on “Managing Money: A Caregivers Guide to Family Finance”. In this session you will learn how to start a conversation about finances with your loved one, the benefits of early planning and budgeting, how to assess long-term financial and legal needs, finding support, community resources and more.

If you are a loved one of or the caregiver for a person facing dementia or other debilitating health conditions, plan to join us on November 18th for an informative session where you will learn strategies and become familiar with resources to help you plan and navigate this journey.
