It\u2019s said that nothing is certain except death and taxes.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s a convenient coincidence that yesterday was National Tax Day and today is National Healthcare Decisions Day — a day created to highlight and recognize the importance of an end-of-life care plan.<\/p>\n

And though the awareness is welcome, we at Preferred Care at Home firmly believe this is a topic too important to be relegated to just one day out of the year. An end-of-life care plan needs to be among the top priorities for those who are entering their twilight years or have aging loved ones in their lives.<\/p>\n

In the past, we have spoken at length about preserving a voice for an unforeseen future or creating a blueprint that builds and maintains a person’s legacy<\/a>. More specifically, we\u2019ve talked about the importance of wills, trusts, and a power of attorney.<\/p>\n

As it happens, the main theme of those discussions is the same — some things like estate and care plans are too important to be left to chance or at the mercy of others.<\/p>\n

Thinking about a future with death and disability is difficult, but if you\u2019ve avoided the thought till now, please take today to start.<\/p>\n

Like with planting trees or saving money, the best day to start planning for your care<\/a> and legacy was yesterday. Today is the next best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
