The article covers a checklist that includes reviewing Medicare options, understanding Social Security claiming strategies, assessing retirement income sources, and making clear decisions about long-term care. These reminders serve as a wake-up call not just for those on the brink of retirement, but also for families who may soon take on caregiving roles or financial coordination for loved ones.<br \/>\nThis piece naturally flows into the importance of early and informed long-term care planning. As an organization, CLTC is uniquely positioned to help consumers and professionals understand the complexities of long-term care and how to prepare for it. The article\u2019s final point, on making long-term care decisions sooner rather than later, aligns perfectly with CLTC\u2019s mission to educate and empower individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to plan for a more secure and dignified future.<\/p>\n<p>Read the article on AOL Finance:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/finance\/4-things-soon-retired-boomers-100723099.html\">4 Things Soon-To-Be Retired Boomers Need To Know About Long-Term Care<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AOL Finance recently published a timely and practical article titled [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1239,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ltc-in-the-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v19.4 (Yoast SEO v19.13) -
