      SOLO AGERS-The primary goal of the Aging Life Care Manager

    • An Aging Life Care Manager is an advocate knowledgeable in aging who can help you develop an overall plan based on your specific preferences and resources. They understand the medical, psychological, and social factors that will all come into play with each decrement in aging. As experts in aging well, they can help you with the overview of what to expect, point you to the best providers, and suggest cost-effective options. But once the plan is in place the solo agers need a financial planner like a wealth manager to cover the cost of their futures health challenges as they age and experience the decrements of age, that the Aging Life Care Managers have identified 
    • A financial advisor will help you determine how to achieve the financial reserves you need to afford your medical, social and housing and care need for perhaps the next 50 years.

       

      SOLO AGERS_Primary Goal of  Financial Advisors or wealth managers:

      Solo Agers Need Team

      Solo Agers need a retirement plan to ensure that the nest egg that the SoloAger created will allow them to go through the stages of aging in the aging life plan the Aging  Life Professional created can be paid for insuring that they can continue their current lifestyle at each level of care– ensure that they will never run out of money. So if they an upscale assisted  living Facility at $8000 a month want and assisted Living the money is there to pay for it

      Solo Agers need a solid team of financial advisors, trusted friends, and others that will be there as they need help with financial help later in life.

      Solo Agers need to Understand their living options. Many seniors are not sure they want to move. They need a financial advisor that understands the unique challenges of Solo Agers, including the full range of living options available at each level of care, as Medicare does not cover long-term care. So you need a financial plan to insure the money is there to pay for long-term care and the financial advisor will do that

       

      The Challenge: Solo Ager, generally someone age 50 or older, currently single (widowed, divorced, never married, or otherwise without a life partner), and not having adult children who can provide support as they age. Care Manager choices within your zip code can be found at 

      Although Solo Agers have many of the same financial concerns as others, they also have unique concerns that not all Wealth Management firms have expertise in providing this information. So it is important to find the firm that fits the Solo Agers’s unique needs. Find a wealth managers that fit your need as a Solo Ager 

       

      SOLO AGERS_The Primary Goal of an Elderlaw attorney

    • An elder law attorney is required to help you draw up the documents all older adults should have in place: a will or living trust for disbursing your assets; documents naming your health care and financial decision-makers should you be unable to make decisions yourself. The association of elder law attornies NAELA can help you find one in your area
    • The great thing about Solo Agers is that they are planning their aging, are highly educated and have the income for care managers, and can afford private care aging without Medicare covering long-term care

Solo Agers Are Vulnerable to Social isolation

March 5, 2023

 

Increase Quality of Life

Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation and mental health problems, particularly if they lack close family or friendship ties.

Also, known as Elder Orphans, Solo Agers represent about 22% of older adults in the United States. Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation or are at risk of doing so in the future, according to a 2016 study. “This is an often overlooked, poorly understood group that needs more attention from the medical community,” said Maria Torroella Carney, the study’s lead author, and chief of geriatric and palliative medicine at Northwell Health in New York. Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation, according to a recently released survey of 500 people who belong to the Elder Orphan Facebook Group, with 8,500 members. Seniors living alone, being unmarried, and not having family or friends nearby are more often lonely and more likely to be depressed and have a poor quality of life. In the study understanding older adults who are aging alone 45% reported being sad and 52% reported being lonely.

Because adults with children may effectively be solo if their adult children live far away or they have a child with a disability who can’t care for them, or they are estranged, more aging adults are looking elsewhere for support to increase their quality of life. 

Solo agers are vulnerable to social isolation although loneliness is a serious concern as all ages are found out during COVID. During the epidemic loneliness, isolation, and depression were experienced by everyone including kids who could not go to school. Seniors experience this all the time. Social isolation is associated with a multitude of problems, such as high blood pressure, insomnia, depression, and cognitive decline. If you lose the ability to drive, develop mobility issues, or live far from friends and family, Solo Agers may have very limited social interaction while aging in place. this a poor quality of life

Increase Quality of Life

Geriatric Care Managers can bring socialization, increase quality of life and so much more to Solo Agers.

Increasing Quality of Life socialization and networks of friends can help solo agers who are lonely. They can also help Solo Agers who are planning their aging plan to increase socialization to avoid pitfalls that so many seniors face in retirement- loneliness, isolation, and depression. The great thing about Solo Agers is that they are planning their aging, are highly educated and have the income for care managers, and can afford private care aging without Medicare covering long-term care
