MONROE, Mich. - Michimich -- A fall, sudden hospitalization or overwhelmed caregiver can leave families facing difficult decisions about an aging parent's care. Lamont G. Jones, CEO of Harborside Senior Living, is encouraging families in Monroe County and surrounding communities to begin those conversations early.

"Planning ahead is an act of love," Jones said. "It gives families time to understand their options and allows older adults to help shape decisions about their future."

Jones encourages families to discuss their loved one's preferences, identify daily support needs, review care costs and establish a backup plan if the primary caregiver becomes unavailable.

Families should also explore local care options before an urgent situation arises. Touring a community early gives them an opportunity to ask questions about services, accommodations, financial responsibilities and what happens when care needs change.
