Carroll Golden Sheds Light on the Hidden Struggles of Caregiving

By NAIFA on 4/22/24 11:00 AM

Carroll Golden, Executive Director of NAIFA's Centers of Excellence and the Limited & Extended Care Planning Center (LECP), was recently interviewed by Bill Hortz to shed light on the often-overlooked realm of informal caregiving. With millions of Americans engaged in the care of loved ones, Golden reveals the economic and emotional challenges that persist in what she refers to as the "shadow" caregiving economy.

Golden, a best-selling author who recently released How Not to Pull Your Life Apart: Caregiving, highlights the staggering figures reported by AARP in their 2021 report, "Valuing the Invaluable," which estimates the economic value of informal caregiving at around $600 billion annually, contributed by some 38 million family caregivers. Despite such significant contributions, the financial and emotional tolls on caregivers are largely unrecognized in traditional financial planning. Golden stresses the urgent need for tools and resources to aid financial professionals in supporting caregivers to manage both the immediate and long-term challenges of caregiving.

How to Talk to Your Parents About Long-Term Care

By Cameron Huddleston on 12/9/22 9:30 AM

As your parents age, there’s a good chance they will need long-term care. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, more than half of Americans turning 65 today will develop a disability serious enough that they will need daily help with the basic activities of living. Most will need care for less than two years, but 1 in 7 will need assistance for more than five years.

As tough as it might be to imagine your parents being unable to care for themselves, the thought of discussing this possibility with them probably seems even harder. But it’s important to talk to your parents sooner rather than later to develop a plan for long-term care if they ever need it. If you wait for an emergency to strike, emotions will be running high and you’ll likely have fewer options to deal with your parents’ need for care.

LIMRA Finds Employers Look to Modify Employee Benefits Offerings

By NAIFA on 7/14/22 8:54 AM

A new survey by NAIFA’s industry partner LIMRA and EY found that about 75% of employers believe they will need to modify their employee benefits packages within the next five years to attract and retain top talent. Among the top benefits employers believe workers will be most interested in are: life insurance, paid family and medical leave, short-term disability, long-term disability, and physical wellness programs. The survey also found that a significant portion of workers place a greater value on workplace insurance benefits – particularly health insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance – than they did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
