Getting your ducks in a row simply means to plan for an expected experience. This guide will help you think through important areas of advanced planning. Most people do not think of many aspects of aging and dying until a crisis happens. Then, they are forced to make decisions under duress or with high emotion. No matter how old you are, it is best to educate yourself so that you can determine preferences and exercise your personal choices as you or your aging family members need.
“Are Your Ducks in a Row “is a guidebook that offers practical information, worksheets, forms and tools to successfully create a plan to live, love, age and transition from life well.
Some things to consider:
Are you planning to age in place at your current home? What kinds of support or modifications may be needed in order for you to safely do so? Can you afford to stay home if you need assistance? What other options are available?
Who would care for dependents or pets if you couldn’t? Do you know how best to care for those with dementia? Are you prepared for personal medical or household emergencies? Who needs access to your personal information and how do you protect it?
