(Mary Lou introduces Brad Hyde with Arisa BehavioralServices) (Brad talks about what he does at Arisa Behavioral Health Care)

(Jo) The National Alliance For Caregiving and AARP recentlystated, “Nearly one in five Americans or 17% are giving care for someone 50 or older.”The trend picked upduring the Great Recission over 10 years ago and has been growing steadily witha bigger rise in intergenerationalbonding during the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you or someone you know has been exploringliving arrangements for an aging loved one needing care or other situationwhere families are deciding to live under one roof, we will explore somehousing and financing options available to you later in this show. Here’s aclient story and the thought process they used to make the right decision whenit came to where to live.

Linda Lovelace’s story—Do You Love where youlive and need to make changes but want to stay?

Portrait of Girl hugging her grandmother.

Linda Lovelace (not her real name) called mewith this dilemma-should I stay or should I go? Instead of downsizing after retiring, she invited her daughter andson-in-law to go in together to buy a larger home with a mother-in-law wing andsell Linda’s home. The problem was thather daughter’s family really liked the old home place, its land and the pondand woods out back and the layout of the house. Ms. Lovelace had a licensedcontractor come and look at thefeasibility and costs of separate living unit to the existing homeplace so thatLinda could have her private space.

They talked with a trusted realtor. Linda andher family consulted with their realtor and looked at other homes to buy andgot estimates on what it would costs with money down and payments per month onother homes with the right layout and proximity to work and shopping anddoctor’s offices. They compared these numbers to what it would costs to remodeland add the extra living space onto Linda’s existing home. The decision ended up being to make themodifications to the home and for everyone to live in a remodeled existing homeinstead of moving.

Here are some questions to ponder if you aretrying to decide to stay in your current home or stay in your parent’s currenthome and remodel it to fit the new living situation OR if you should buy adifferent home already more suited to your new lifestyle living with parentsand grandparents or with your parents and grandparents living with YOU.

Does the layout of your home work well for youand your family? Are you in closeproximity to people and places that makeliving in your current location convenient? Do you have a good relationship with your neighbors?

What would it cost to remodel vs buying adifferent home to meet your changing lifestyle needs once your other family isliving under the same roof with you.? Will the covenants and restrictions and zoning in your area allow you tomake these changes to your home? Whatabout

Whether your loved one is battling a terminal illness ornot, we all know the reality is that we are aging every day. There are some steps we can take in advanceto make the aging process easier for our family. There are legal documents that must be put inplace that designate who has the authority to make decisions on your behalf aswell as let you know what your wishes are. You need to have a will or trust, medical directives that say who makesdecisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so, as well as financialdirectives. You need to make afinancial plan to cover all these expenses along the way.

Having that difficult conversation now will make the journeyso much easier. When my husband wasfirst diagnosed with his terminal cancer, we sat down and talked about whatquality of life meant to each of us and how we wanted to move forward with theplans from being able to die at home to planning the funeral service. We alsogot our legal documents and financial affairs in order. I have complete peace of mind knowing thatI’m carrying out his wishes as we move through the different stages of life.

  1. What are the four factors to help determine if your lovedone is still safe to live independently or if home health care is needed?

Noticing the need for help when visiting elders at theholidays and the four key factors that influence independence by HomeHelpers.

Noticingthe need for help while visiting with elders during the holidays The holidaysare a seen for a time of joy. But often under-discussed is the reality thatcomes along with visiting loved ones whoare aging. Many times, visits home leave relatives with wonder if their agingloved ones are losing their ability to live independently. I am (insert name) Irun the local home helpers office. As someone who works with families each andeveryday, I wanted to share some key signs that can help you or others notice the need for additionalsupport.

How to determine the need Today I plan to share with youthe four key factors that help determine if your loved one is still safe living independently or if senior homehealth care may be needed.

Four Key FactorsInfluencing Independence Those for Keyfactors include: physical appearance, memory, motor skills and mood.

Physical Appearance How is your loved ones’ personalhygiene? Do you notice any significantweight gain or loss? How is their home –consistent with how they have always maintained their living space? Do you notice any bruises or cuts?

Pride in personal appearance can be one of the most tellingearly sign that a loved-one is changing and can be symptomatic of mood issuesand/or other physical limitations that may be occurring.

One of the most obvioussigns of ill health, either physical or mental, is weight loss. The cause couldbe as serious as cancer, dementia, heart failure or depression. Or it could berelated to a lack of energy to cook for a loved one or just themselves, thewaning ability to read the fine print on food labels or difficulty cleaningutensils and cookware. Certain medications and aging in general can change theway food tastes. If weight loss is evident, talk to your loved one about your concern and schedule a doctor’s visit toaddress the issue. Evaluating how they are maintaining the cleanliness of thehome is also critical. Dust, dirt, and other issues effect seniors with respiratory ailments and make recoveryfrom illness harder. Look for bruises and cuts, this can be evidence of fallsand symptomatic of other health issues.

Memory Is your lovedone remembering things accurately? Isyour senior alert and actively involved in conversations? Memory loss is oftenone of the first signs of dementia. Initially, memory lapses may be mistakenfor the normal forgetfulness that often increases as people grow older or whenthey become very stressed. However, in someone with dementia it will graduallybecome apparent that the memory problems are becoming more severe andpersistent. They will also be accompanied by changes in thinking and feelingthat make it more difficult to cope with everyday life. If the person’sforgetfulness could put them at risk in any way, you may need to takeprecautions that can help them live safely. These might include leaving awritten reminder by the door so that they don’t forget their keys when they goout. Or it could mean fitting a device that cuts off the gas supply if they puta pan on the stove and then forget about it. It may mean providing the senior with a personal alertsystem. Memory issues can be one of themost difficult to talk to your senior about. Remember to be patient, looking for ways to help them cope,safely with these changes.

20% of seniors aredealing with memory loss, impacting their ability to live safely independently.You may not realize that one in five seniors are currently dealing with memoryloss, at a level that impacts their ability to live safely on their own. Thatis what makes this such an important factor.

Motor Skills Do younotice your loved one struggling with tasks that are usually simple toexecute? How is their balance? Are you aware of any falls?

Each year, 2.5 million older people are treated inemergency departments for fall injuries. 1 out of 5 of these results inserious injury. Recovering from a fall can be challenging and cause long-termdetonation of health. Sadly, many seniors become embarrassed to admit they’vefallen and work to hide it from loved ones. Looking for balance issues,removing obstacles and decluttering the home as well as determining if a fallmonitoring system may be easy ways to maintain safety and independence for yoursenior.

Mood Does your loved one seem happy? Do you notice any drastic mood swings? Do they have enough interaction with othersto keep them happy and engaged?

Over 16% of seniors are dealing with depression. Sadly, upto 90 percent of people who suffer from depression later in life don’t receiveadequate care, with 78 percent receiving no treatment at all. Elderly patientsdiagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) spend nearly twice as much onhealth care as those without the disease. Companion care can be a simple way to help seniors feel connected – throughmeanin gful daily interaction.

  • Talkabout some of the government statistics for the number of senior aged peoplewho need care vs the number of them actually receiving help. 91.9 millionpeople will travel home for the holidays. This year the AAA estimates 1 inthree people will be traveling home to visit relatives over the holidays.

According to the US Government, 70% of adults65+ are currently in need of some type of inhome care. The US governmentestimates that 70% of all adults 65+ are currently in need of some type of inhome senior care. Sadly only about 10% of those are receiving this care. Often,because the signs that more assistancego unnoticed.

  • What to you do if you notice a change for the worse whenyou visit your loved one? Those four factors are a simple place to start. In theevent that you notice a change, what should you do?

If you’ve noticed the need… Begin to keep a list ofobservations. Begin to research. Begin the conversation. Start capturing yourobservations. This way you can accurately talk to others about what you are seeing and you can more accuratelydetermine wh at changes have occurred.

Begin to research. Take some time to develop a list ofoptions, so that you’re prepared in the event your loved one’s care needsescalate and help is needed. It’s better to be prepared than to scramble at thelast minute. Preparedness makes it easier for the senior as well as the familyto accept help. Determine if local home care agencies can help. Can they do aslittle as a couple hours a week, do they offer any kind of monitoring services,what can they do to help retain independence at home. Have theconversation. Instead of surprising your loved one with the suggestion thatthey receive extra care, warm them up to the idea early on. That way, they willbe more open about the option because itwon’t seem so foreign.

If your loved one or someone you know could use help, I amhappy to help.

If you did that, you would always bestressed out wondering if your phone would die in the middle of the call. Youwould be trying to hurry through the call to prevent your phone running out ofjuice.

  1. What aresome common real estate financing program you use when working with an agingfamily members?
  2. The one mortgageprogram that comes to mind often is the Reverse Mortgage for homeowners or homebuyers over 62 years of age. Thehomeowners does not make payments on the reverse mortgage. The bank can pay them a lump sum of moneydepending on how much equity they have build up in their home. Or the homeowner can receive payments fromthe bank each month. Or they can get a combination of lump sum money and get amonthly income. In many cases the homeowner uses the Reverse Mortgage like anequity line of credit. The ReverseMortgage has some protections for homeowners that have been added in the last few years.

There are advantages anddisadvantages using the Reverse Mortgage. The disadvantage is that it eats up agood chunk of the equity in the house for lender’s costs. If you do not have a lot of equity built upin your home or you have other options for achieving your financial goals, theReverse Mortgage may not be for you.

If you are sitting on apaid-for house but have no other investments to help you achieve your financialneeds, then the Reverse Mortgage may be for you.

Before you talk with a reverse mortgage loan officer,government guidelines require that you first consult with a HUD approvedReverse Mortgage Counselor. You canfind a reverse mortgage counselor by calling 1-800-569-4287 or going to www.HUD.GOV and searching under“reverse mortgage counseling.” It is advisable to also consult with yourcertified financial planner or other certified financial consultant.

Depending on how long you plan on living in your home andthe amount of equity you have in your home, the next step is to determine whichtype Reverse Mortgage is right foryou. Here are a few of your options:

  • When you need the largest possibleinitial or future credit line, like alump sum of cash or acredit line that could offer you the cash in the future if you need it.
  • You could set up the plan for getting thelargest possible monthly payment for as long as you live in the house.
  • You could arrange to get as much cash aspossible, at closing or after 12 months.
  • Reverse mortgages can be used to purchase ahouse with the smallest possible cash outlay.
  • Reverse mortgages can be used to pay forhelp in the home or for long term care policies.

Thereverse mortgage program is not for everyone. Generally speaking, if you are overthe age of 62 and have a home with a large amount of equity in it and no otheroptions to take care of your cash and income needs, the Reverse Mortgage may befor you.

Ifyou can reallocate your assets and investments to get the cash or income youneed without having to get a Reverse Mortgage, that might be better. Reverse mortgages can eat away a significantamount of the equity in your home because of the high cost to do them.

If you have family that you would like toinherit your home, you may not want to encumber the home with a ReverseMortgage. There are some alternativesolutions that could allow you or your family member to get a Reverse Mortgageand still provide a way for the family members to pay it off when needed.

Here are some othersites that offer information about reverse mortgages:

  • Here is an example of how a grandma andgrandpa used a reverse mortgage on their primary residence to purchase a secondhome several miles away so they could spend 4 or 5 months out of the year neartheir children and grandchildren

Carter and Claire Caldwellstory– Bounding over Barriers To BeWith The Grandbabies

What about making your home payYOU back? Have you considered a reverse mortgage if you are over 62 years old?

Here is a brilliant idea fromone of my past “rock star” mortgage clients. Carter and Claire Caldwell were both over 62 years old. They loved their home next to the lake andtheir longstanding neighbors and friends. But, the Caldwell’s yearned to spend time playing with their toddlergrandchildren who lived several hundred miles away. These grandparents were motivated tofinancially mastermind a way to get a second home near their grandkids. Want to know their brilliant idea????

Since the Caldwell’s were over 62 years old and they had paid offtheir mortgage early, they applied and got a Reverse Mortgage. The Reverse Mortgage on their primary residence was now paying themeach month, so they had the income to afford to spend a five whole monthsat a time playing and making memories with the grandkids. If you want to seeSTUNNINGLY BRILLIANT strategy, observe what happens when grandparents aredetermined to spring themselves across the miles to hold their grandbabies intheir laps.What do YOU want to accomplishwith YOUR mortgage?

You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

At some point in a person’s life they discoverthey need to restructure their mortgage financing. For example, now that theyare retired with a lesser income, it may be more comfortable to go back to alower mortgage payment on a 30 year term rather than the higher payment on the15 year plan. Some of my clients need torefinance their home and combine the variable interest rate second mortgagehome equity line of credit so that the entire house note is protected on afixed mortgage rate instead of a rate that could take the payment higher andhigher with no safety caps.

Let me share a story with you of some beloved clients, whose needschanged over the 20 years on the type mortgage terms they needed.

Harry and HelenHarlington- Structure your mortgage financing with your other family memberinterest in mind

Harry and Helen Harlingtoncommitted many years ago to put others first, including their own familymembers. Time after time financialchallenges, physical illnesses and other of life’s storms tried to blow thisfamily off course. Each time theHarlington’s regrouped and continued to put other’s interest first. This forced them to think of creativesolutions and take action.

The first time I met Mr.and Ms. Harlington was about 20 years ago when they were buying a home. They wanted a 30 year fixed rate mortgage sothat they could afford to help their children who were finishing upcollege. The Harlington’s set up asystem to make extra payments to try and pay off the mortgage early.

Then mortgage ratesdropped. Mr. Harlington and I explored some refinance scenarios with a muchlower mortgage rate than he was currently paying and on a 15 year term, whichwould automatically eliminate over 5 years off the mortgage. Mr. Harlington could do long math in hishead. Before I could print out for himthe benefits of cutting the interest by over a point and dropping over 60payments off the loan payoff, he already had calculated the tens of thousandsof dollars his family would get to keep in their pockets if he cut the rate ANDthe term on his mortgage. We did thatrefinance with him and his wife walking away with bragging rights

A few years later Mr.Harlington called me with some very badnews he had received from his doctor. By this time the shorter 15 year mortgage term had allowed him tosignificantly pay down the balance on his mortgage. He had saved a LOT of money doing this.

But, true to his commitment to put others first, he gave uphis desire to pay off the mortgage completely, and instead, we looked at takingthe smaller balance left and refinance to a still low rate but longer 30 yearterm. The payments would BEdrastically lower than he was paying so that, if he should pass away before hiswife, she would be able to easily make the payments on the remaining mortgageand leave plenty in the budget to pay for her personal care and keeping up thehouse.

Over a 20 year period,the Harlington’s saved tens of thousands of dollars on what they paid on theirmortgage by taking advantage of rates when they could refinance to lowerinterest expense. They also saved thousandsby eliminating years off their original mortgage.

Whatare some other sources of cash or financing options for retired borrowers?

  1. HomeEquity Line of Credit if it is affordable and small enough to pay off quicklyif the interest rate begins to climb. Home Equity lines are great for fixing up the home and doingmaintenance. If you have a house with a lot of equity that you would like tosell, but you need to buy your new home before you can sell the old one, youcan use a temporary equity line of credit secured on the old home to access thecash you need for a down payment on the new home. When the old house sells, you can pay off theHome EQUITY Line of Credit and then the house you just purchased with thecredit line money is free and clear or just has a very small loan balance on itwith a small payment, just like it would have been if you had sold your oldresidence first.
  • OtherFinancing in some situations can be used when older citizens buy a bigger houseso they can live with their other family members. Or they down size to simplify and enjoy lifea little more. I’ve had some of myolder customers call and say, “Jo, I’m 80 years old. Would you lend an 80 year old person a 30year loan?” The answer is YES. Lenders are not allowed to discriminate basedon the age of the borrower. So regular mortgages of many shapes and sizes areavailable to the older clients.

There is a special mortgage program called the FamilyOpportunity progam through Fannie Mae, one of the largest mortgage buyers inthe country. This program, under certaindocumented conditions will allow the son or daughter of an aging parent topurchase a home for that parent who cannot qualify by themselves. The son or daughter does not have to live inthe home and can buy, with favorable mortgage terms as if they were owneroccupants, even though they will not be living there and the parents do nothave to be on the loan either.

Ask me more about this program after the show.

  • Othersources of financing can come from surprising sources like a cash value on awhole life insurance policy. There arestill other places we can go treasure hunting together. Call me personally and let’s talk about YOURoptions (615) 924-6215 or connect with me at www.JOGarner.com

REAL ESTATE TIP OF THE WEEK (GenellHolloway of Health Benefits Plus shares a tip )

Tip 2: From GenellHolloway from Health Benefits Plus:

There are products to help ensure that our loved ones havethe financial means to cover their expenses as they age. The younger we start this process, the morelikely we are to be financially prepared. It’s been my experience, that most of us want to stay in our home aslong as possible. Having a financialplan in place with the right products will help ensure that we can honor thewishes of our loved ones.

Because we’ve had that difficult conversation to understandwhat our loved ones want, it makes every decision so much easier. I know we said this earlier too, but peace ofmind comes from knowing what they want. So, please sit down today, and discuss your wishes. Take action today!

Another thought……..we don’t have to make every discussion abattle. As long as we know what theoverall wishes and desires are, we can better pick and choose what battles wetake on. Most of the things we often focuson are not really all that important in the big scheme of life. If we have financially prepared ourselvesand shared our wishes with the right people, there’s a peace of mind that isabsolutely priceless.
