Starting the Conversation and the RiverWoods CCRC Option

When is the right time to talk to your parents about their future health care needs? Or, if you are a parent, how do you bring up the topic with your adult children? It can be challenging for even the closest of families to talk about the future, especially when it comes to health care planning. But talking now is better than waiting until a crisis occurs- the challenge is, how do you start that conversation? Dick Edwards, author of the book, "Mom, Dad...Can We Talk" shared some advice during a trip to RiverWoods.

Dick Edwards has thirty-five years of experience working closely with older adults and their families. For the past twenty years he served as administrator of Charter House, a nationally recognized model for excellence in retirement living and long-term health care affiliated with the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

This was recorded at RiverWoods Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in Exeter, NH.
