Long Term Care: Personal Side

In the third installment of our series, we'll talk with families of those needing to make difficult decisions as to how they wish to care for their aging loved one. We'll ask them what choices they made, why they made their choices and the challenges around the choices they made. We'll also talk with a family planner who can discuss how they help families make the best choices for their lives. Laura's guest is Lisa Morris, director of the Service Link Resource Center of Belknap County, an organization that provides counseling services to individuals and families as they plan for their long-term care needs. We are also joined by Bob Ierardi and Shirley Thorne, two people dealing with long term care in their immediate family. Bob is also chair of the Family Caregivers Network.
