Caregiver Dave Podcast

Every Day30% of caregivers will actually die before their loved one’s do, 60% will become sicker than the one’s they are caring for, often becoming hospitalized, eventually needing a caregiver of their own, more and more baby boomers are getting sick,  and there just isn’t enough Caregivers or facilities to care for them. We are in crisis mode! Most Americans do not have long-term care insurance. The best time to buy is in your 50’s.
