Jerome Upton still remembers the silence that descends just before a game begins. As captain of his college team, he'd scan the huddle, gauge nerves, and ask, “What does winning look like today?” “That's where I learned the power of shared goals,” Upton tells us. Years later, the Genworth Financial CFO opens staff meetings similarly—then hands teammates room to execute.The first bold play of his career came soon after graduation. At a small insurer, Upton stunned mentors by jumping to KPMG. “I needed wider fields,” he explains. Eight years of audits sharpened his technical vision, yet the move that truly stretched him arrived when GE Capital—Genworth's predecessor—offered a divisional‑controller seat with global scope. Overnight his “team” expanded ten‑fold, teaching him to win through trust rather than touch‑every‑file oversight.International assignments followed: boardrooms in Europe, investor roadshows in Asia, client visits in Latin America. Hearing customers critique products in real time “made finance feel less like a ledger and more like a heartbeat,” he says. That perspective proved vital during Genworth's post‑crisis crossroads. Tasked with raising capital quickly, Upton orchestrated a minority IPO of a foreign subsidiary, executed at speed and premium valuation. The deal slashed leverage and revealed hidden asset value.Today his playbook balances share buybacks and debt reduction with growth bets such as CareScout. Multi‑year downside modeling safeguards the core, while his Gretzkyesque mantra—skate where the puck is going—keeps him focused on tomorrow's opportunity.

Welcome back to Powering Your Retirement Radio. I want to discuss Long Term Care or Extended Care. This is insurance and not an investment. Insurance, in the long run, is better to have and not need, than to need and not have. It is also better to buy it before there is a need because, at that point, it is either very expensive or not available. So why do you need Extended Care Insurance? You need it because of the unknowable circumstances around your future health, not just yours but, if you are married, your spouse as well. As counterintuitive as this sounds, Extended Care Insurance is not for someone who falls ill or needs care. It is for the surviving spouse. I hear all of the jokes and uncomfortable laughter around; they'll hold a pillow over my head… No, they won't. Extended Care isn't just for end-of-life situations. It covers you if there is a car accident, if you have a stroke or if some other issue where you need prolonged care during your recovery. No one wants to be a burden to their children, and even fewer people want to leave a healthy spouse without enough money to live on because the assets went toward their care. So what is there to do? There are a few options, including Traditional Long Term Care Insurance, which is not very popular, but still available. There is Hybrid Life Insurance that provides a Long Term Care Rider. And finally, there are Long Term Care Annuities. Here is a quick overview, which will hopefully give you enough information to determine what makes sense for you. As always, I am happy to chat if you have questions. Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance: This is what most people think of. It's a use-it-or-lose-it policy where you pay in for your lifetime, and if you never need it, there is nothing to be paid out. This is the insurance I personally own, only because I got it when I worked at Genworth, and it was inexpensive at the time. Given the cost of care, my premiums over my expected life span will equal roughly 6 months' worth of coverage in a nursing facility. Since the average stay is 3 years, I am comfortable with the fact that I have it, even if I don't need it. Hybrid Life Insurance with a Long-Term Care Rider: This is a life insurance policy with a death benefit that can be converted to pay for long-term care needs if needed. The good part is that if you need long-term care, you have a predetermined amount of coverage. If you don't need it, there is a death benefit for your heirs, so the money you paid in premiums is not a sunk cost you can't recover. If you collect on the death benefit, you don't lose your money, but the growth of the funds is more like investing in a CD rather than the market. The key is that you have protection since you have insurance and you aren't spending the assets meant to provide your retirement income. This can be purchased over your lifetime or a set number of years, usually 10 or 20 and you are subject to underwriting on these policies. Annuities with a Long-Term Care Rider: These are usually on a fixed or index annuity and are purchased with a lump sum with some kind of multiple, say 1, 2, or 3 times the amount deposited if you need long-term care. So you invest $100,000 in the fixed annuity, and it grows like any other fixed annuity, and like the hybrid policy above, if there is a need for long-term care, the multiplier kicks in, and your $100,000 now covers $200,000 or more of long-term care bills. There is some underwriting, but it generally has a better issue rate than the hybrid or traditional policies. The quick recap is that a traditional policy is less expensive than a hybrid policy, but with no way to recoup the expense if you don't need it. Hybrid is good for a person who is a planner but wants some protection. The caveat is that you also need to be insurable. The annuity will likely get you coverage in a situation when you can't get a hybrid policy, but you need to have a larger sum of money all at once. All three will help you protect your assets in the future, but you need to apply and go through the process. A final thought, the people most interested in long-term care are the ones who have seen a parent, spouse, or another relative need care and know what the costs are. If you want to see it for yourself, here is a link to the Genworth Cost of Care Website.

BioWith only the funds from his tax return in 2016 Trivelle started The Drive Group and has since grown it into a multi million dollar company. His history of working in start up environments across varying industries helped him to develop the skill of identifying smart risks, and knowing when to step back and when to push forward. After several years working for large organizations such as Davis + Henderson, The Royal Bank of Canada, Genworth, Manulife, and as the Chief Operating Officer for Chelle Service Capital, Trivelle was inspired to start a company that focused on trends and analysis to help businesses achieve consistent cash flow. In the beginning, this kernel of an idea was fueled by his feeling that there must be a better way to do business. That core value is still true of The Drive Group today. The Drive Group has grown from a business consultancy company, to a venture capital and real estate development organization that prides itself on partnering with innovative people and companies.

It was the type of CFO position that Gary Zyla probably would not have been able to find outside of Genworth Financial, a financial services company that he had first joined in 2004. Not that his resume didn't already have some solid CFO prerequisites, but the leadership challenge that Zyla was about to take on was less about capital management and more about establishing the business functions required to run a business day by day. “Genworth said, ‘Look, this is a very broad role—we're going to take a leap of faith with you,'” recalls Zyla, whose appointment as CFO of Genworth's newly formed California-based subsidiary came 7 years after he had first joined the company. Still, what happened next was arguably the most pivotal moment of Zyla's career, as in 2013—2 years after he had relocated to California to better fulfill his CFO duties—Genworth announced plans to sell his division to a private equity firm. “Once it was sold, I was the CFO of this 350-person privately held business,” continues Zyla, who subsequently began reporting to the company's private equity owner. “The new owners were very clear to me about what they wanted the business to be,” comments Zyla, who reports that the owners would ultimately earn four-and-a-half times their original investment before selling the business known as AssetMark to Huatai Securities Co. Ltd. in 2016. Besides the two private equity ownership transactions (2013, 2016), Zyla's CFO career has also spanned an IPO (2019) and six different acquisitions within the past 7 years—which is not bad at all for a finance leader who has yet to look outside his company for opportunities. - Jack Sweeney

So you've decided you or your loved one needs senior living - how much is it going to cost? A 2020 study by Genworth determined that the U.S. average for assisted living is $4,429 a month, though it could be less (or even more) depending on where you live! Budget is a huge factor in determining what's available to you. Unfortunately, there's also a huge misconception that Medicare will cover the cost. That is simply not the case.With that in mind, Senior Living Expert Lori Williams shares 10 ways to pay for senior living. Depending on how you've prepared over the years, there may be different options available that you never considered. Most people tap into social security, and if you have a pension plan, add that to your monthly income. Savings are another way to pay, and you can consider savings in your 401(k) or other retirement funds as well.Other means of payment: Do you own a house? Speak to a realtor - you may be able to sell without renovating your home. Are you a military veteran? VA benefits, like Aid & Attendance for war era veterans and spouses, can pay great rates. If you have Long term care insurance and qualify for care, it will cover Assisted Living & Memory Care. Family may also chip in to help, and there are life insurance policies to cash in, as well as bridge loans and reverse mortgages.Nothing brings you back to reality like discussions about budget. However, there are many options. It's also important to discuss finances with your loved ones, even if it's an uncomfortable conversation, just so you're prepared when the time comes.Topics discussed:-Senior living-Paying for senior living-Asset management-Long-term care-Medicare-Insurance policies-Selling your homeTakeaways from this episode:-Medicare does not cover senior living.

What sets apart your everyday real estate investor from an investing expert? While novice investors are focused on cash flow only, veteran landlords focus on something worth much, much more. Thankfully, even if you're just getting started on your investing journey, you don't have to go through the hard work that experts like Dave Meyer and J Scott went through. Instead, you can hear their time-tested advice today, and grab their new book Real Estate by the Numbers! J, a techie turned master flipper has written numerous books on estimating rehab costs, calculating real estate deals, and recession-proof investing. Dave, our VP of Data and Analytics and host of On the Market, has been head-down in housing market data for the past decade. These two real estate investing juggernauts combined their knowledge to write a book that lets every investor, no matter their skill level, find better deals, calculate profits smarter, and build wealth faster. In this episode, we talk about calculating cash flow, ROI, and other metrics that may, or may not, matter as much as you'd think. You'll hear how these two experts use much more than the numbers to define which deals are worth buying. After this episode, you may look at your portfolio differently, or even think about selling some of the properties you thought were “winners” before! In This Episode We Cover:The math behind the real estate deal and which metrics matter more than mostCalculating which properties work best for your portfolio Defining your “buy box” and using it to filter through deals so you can build wealth fasterWhy your property's ROI (return on investment) might be even better than you thinkHow to start thinking like an investing expert and the lump sum vs. cash flow debate Understanding the time value of money and how it'll make you richer quicker And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastGet Your Ticket for BPCon 2022Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterHere's Why You Should Consider Investing in Senior LivingShould You Invest In Senior Housing (And Is Now the Right Time)?Genworth's Cost of Care SurveyBiggerPockets CalculatorsBooks Mentioned in the Show:Real Estate by the Numbers by Dave Meyer & J Scott and Use Code “DAVE” or “JSCOTT” for 10% OffConnect with Dave & J:J's BiggerPockets ProfileJ's WebsiteDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-673Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Assisted living investing isn't your typical type of rental property investing. When someone thinks “I want to get rich in real estate,” they're often not considering setting up a home for seniors, those in medical decline, or medical patients. Investors almost prematurely dismiss any idea of RAL homes (residential assisted living) if they have no medical background and no personal need to do it themselves. This can become a costly mistake, especially when the evidence adds up on why assisted living could be the most recession-proof real estate investment out there.Isabelle Guarino-Smith is one of the investors that decided to go down this path. Without any medical experience of her own, she led her family business to become a successful assisted living brand throughout the state of Arizona. When her grandmother needed care many states away, Isabelle's father realized that building not only a better facility, but a more profitable portfolio, was a smart move to make. And this risk has paid off significantly, as Isabelle now takes home a five-figure monthly cash flow from each of these properties.She knows that the “silver tsunami” is coming in quickly and that capitalizing on this niche now could mean even great profits in the future. But, this isn't all about the money for Isabelle and her team. She's seen how much better care seniors can get in smaller facilities and that this type of investment doesn't just pay itself back in profits, but in knowing that you're making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.In This Episode We Cover:How to transition from residential real estate investor to assisted living specialist The three types of senior housing facilities and the only one worth investing inThe “silver tsunami” that's on the way and how to capitalize on it before it's too lateFinancing options for assisted living investments and how to raise capitalRenovation tips, common costs, and how much you can expect to make on your first facilityAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastGet Your Ticket for BPCon 2022Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterHere's Why You Should Consider Investing in Senior LivingShould You Invest In Senior Housing (And Is Now the Right Time)?Genworth's Cost of Care SurveyBooks Mentioned in the Show:Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiThe Pumpkin Plan by Mike MichalowiczThe 5am Club by Robin SharmaConnect with Isabelle:Isabelle's WebsiteClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-671Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Episode Summary In this episode of Get Real Wealthy Season 2, Quentin talks about why Genworth and Canada Guaranty also need to offer multifamily mortgages like CMHC. In Canada, there are mortgage insurers, who allow people to borrow mortgages at a lower rate because they insure those mortgages. In the residential space, CMHC and private providers Genworth and Canada Guaranty provide these services for one-to-four unit properties. You can borrow funds up to 85% loan to value, 90% loan to value, 95% loan to value depending on your credit score. As for the multifamily space, there is only one lender – CMHC. He adds that they are a money-making machine when it comes to insurance, as defaults in this space are rare. Quentin says that Genworth and Canada Guaranty need to step into the multifamily mortgages as well. This might prompt CMHC to optimize and expedite their funding process as they would have competition. He adds “So, if you're a candidate guarantee and you're Genworth, I want to see you tell me why you're not in the multifamily space. Why would you give up millions of dollars?” In conclusion, he says that these companies are missing out on millions of dollars, and this is something they should seriously consider.

While it's not the most exciting topic to discuss, long-term care is an important one given how common long-term care events are and their ability to impact a retirement plan due to their potential cost. In this episode, we start out by providing some background and overview of long-term care and some of the numbers around frequency and cost. Based on that, we explain why it's important to have a plan for how to protect against long-term care risks. We then wrap things up by talking about the different options for how to actually protect against this risk (which at a basic level is either buying insurance, self-insuring, or some combination of the two) and discuss some of the pros and cons of each option. Our goal is for you to come away with a good understanding of this planning area and which approach to protecting against long-term care risk is right for you based on the specifics of your unique situation.

All For Business is back for our second season! We're excited to kick it off with another "Around The Table" mini-series with Leadership Lynchburg in honor of Black History Month. Leadership Lynchburg believes that creating opportunities for healthy conversation builds awareness, trust and ultimately relationship. Relationships can create productive action and relationships enable you to "go there" on difficult topics trusting that the benefit is greater awareness and mutual understanding. In short, relationship create community. We aim to inspire leaders and educate allies and potential allies so they can create tangible actions within their respective spheres of influence. So, it's February, Black History Month and we thought it would be great to feature some of our local friends who can speak to their work for the black community. We're uniting these podcasts under the theme of "Tell me what I need to know . . ." Our final two guests are Donise Farmer and Justin Mercer.

Did you also know that the age of those requiring long-term care is actually decreasing? The stats shared in this newsletter are taken from Genworth.In 2010, 81% of care recipients were 65 or older. In 2018, 57% of care recipients were 65 or older. So, younger people are needing long-term care.Remember, that Medicare will only pay 100% of the cost at a skilled nursing facility for 20 days. Also noteworthy, 21% of people require long-term care after an accident.The need for knowledge about this subject is only going to increase. By 2030, one billion people worldwide will be over 65. And until 2030, ten thousand Baby Boomers will turn 65 each day. 70% of individuals will need long-term care in their life-time. On average, people that need long-term care will need it for three years.What do we do with this knowledge? Let's start with what has historically been done.Someone may learn the above information and say, "I want a long-term care policy." Here's how they generally work: the person may think to themselves, “Well, if I need help and I need the most help, I guess that would be about $8,821 per month. So, I'd like a policy that will pay that amount.” Then they may choose to have a 30-day elimination period. What this means is 30 days after you needed care, the policy will begin paying you. Sometimes they may add an inflation provision. It's common for people to experience sticker shock when they figure out how much their coverage will cost. If the person can could afford the coverage, I've generally found that they probably started it in their 40s or 50s. So, the insurance company knew they would be paying for it for many years before they actually used it.Each year the price may change for the policy, and if the insurance company that issued the policy found a lot of people in a certain state were needing the policy to payout, they may seek to increase the rates. I've talked with numerous people who saw their rates sore.If the person in the above example could not afford it or was unwilling to pay for the above scenario, they may lower the monthly amount the policy will pay and increase the elimination period to 60, 90, or even 180 days.But here's the kicker. It's like your home or auto insurance. If you never use it, you normally lose it and all the money you put into it is gone. Sometimes you can pay extra for a return of a premium provision that will return your money if you don't use the benefit. This may increase the cost and may make it less palatable.Investment advisory services offered only by duly registered individuals through AE Wealth Management, LLC (AEWM).

A Genworth study estimates that retirees who need do long-term care, will need it for about two-and-a-half years … at a cost of about $100,000 a year!With the US Dept. of Health reporting that 70% of people turning 65 today will need some sort of Long-term care, what are your options to help make sure you aren't blindsided by sudden costs associated with your healthcare needs?
Before we get started we want to give you a quick update on the interview we had schedule for today's episode. Unfortunately, when we began the interview we started having some technical difficulties and due to the importance and nature of the interview we collectively decided it would be best to reschedule it. So in place of the interview, we are going to be discussing an issue that has or will affect every family at some point and that is the long-term care crisis in America. First, we will talk a little about what long-term care is and who is in need of it. Then, we will gravitate towards why long-term care is becoming a crisis and what you need to do to prepare for it. Maybe you're already experiencing some of these issues or you're looking towards the near future and are unsure what it may hold. Regardless of your current situation we hope that this episode will give you some ideas and suggestions for your long-term care situation. Let's move on to the rest of the show. As we age, many of us will end up needing long-term care, which is a type of care required if you are unable to perform daily activities on your own. According to Genworth, daily activities means things like eating, bathing, dressing, transferring, and using the bathroom. For many long-term care providers, the goal of long-term care is to allow the recipient, and as often as it is in our case our loved ones, to maintain their lifestyle. As caregivers for our loved ones, we are allowing them to maintain as much freedom as possible and to live out the remainder of their lives as they wish. Being the primary caregiver for our loved ones is usually the most cost-effective option, but it is not the only way long-term care can be provided. Long-term care facilities and professional home care providers are all options when it comes to long-term care for our loved ones. Often times, it comes down to what a family can afford. Medicare and Medicaid and traditional insurances don't usually cover the cost of long-term care (this is where long-term care insurance is typically used), leaving families to try and cover the costs on their own. Today, seven out of ten older adults will need some sort of long-term care support and 63 percent of family caregivers have to use their own retirement savings to help fund and pay for care. With the aging baby boomer generation, the long-term care crisis will soon reach an all-time high. The COVID-19 pandemic has already seen to it that hospitals and other care facilities reached their full-capacity. America does not currently have the medical infrastructure to support the influx of patients that the pandemic has brought, and it certainly doesn't have the infrastructure to support the 71.6 million baby boomers that will be needing care in the coming years. Long-term care helps with daily living activities, but it can also include community services such as meals, adult day care, and transportation services. These services may be provided free or for a fee. Preparing for long-term care ahead of time can not only give you peace of mind when the time comes that you need long-term care, but it also ensures that the financial burden will not fall on your loved ones. According to Market Watch, long-term care is extremely expensive, and for many Americans, it is simply unaffordable. Most seniors simply don't have the average $100,000 a year for a nursing home, $45,000 for assisted living, or $33,000 for in-home care. A report by the Long-Term Care Financing Collaborative found that the out-of-pocket costs of such assistance can be catastrophic, and few people have the necessary resources…to meet this need. Private insurance can cover some of the costs, but it won't cover everything. Market Watch states that the average premium today is $2,050 a year for a 55-year-old man and $2,700 for a woman of the same age — with premiums rising 25 percent to 100 percent annually. That is, if you can find a policy. Insurers are pulling out of the market in droves as lifespans and health care costs rise — and profit margins fall. Medicaid will cover the costs of skilled nursing care for lower-income seniors, but they don't help middle- or upper-class seniors and Medicare doesn't cover any of the costs. Families that leave the workforce to provide care for their loved ones forego approximately $300,000 ($324,000 for women and $284,000 for men) in retirement income. For many families, quitting their own jobs to provide full-time care is the only option. At All Home Care Matters, we fully support families as the primary caregiver, but we want you to be prepared to be a primary caregiver, instead of being thrust into the roll unexpectedly. The cost of long-term care isn't the only reason for the crisis. There's also a shortage of room in facilities and a shortage of staff and unfortunately, both of these shortages cause the price of long-term care to increase even more, creating a very costly cycle. Now that we know about the long-term care crisis in America and how costly long-term care can be for the care recipient and their family, let's take a look at who needs long-term care and what the specific long-term care options are. In GenWorth's 2018 Beyond Dollars report, they state how seven out of ten people will need long term care at some point, yet six out of ten people are convinced the need for care will never happen to them. In fact, 63 percent of care recipients and 61 percent of caregivers report that, prior to the moment care was needed, they had never considered that the need for long term care at some point was a very real possibility. Among those that had considered the need for care prior to the need revealing itself, less than 25 percent had made any plans to cover this type of situation because they didn't want to talk about it or admit that care was needed and many also assumed that they had more time. When we do think about a time that we will need long-term care, we often think of it as being when we are in the end-of-life stage, but that isn't always the case. Hank, a long-term care recipient, never thought he would need long-term care, especially at his age. On Father's Day, he had a stroke and was unconscious for 48 hours. He thought he was going to die. Luckily, his son found him in time and got him help. After his stroke, Hank's son stayed with him, helping him with his daily living activities, like bathing, until he got some of his strength back. His son was able to go back to school and continue classes because of a caregiver that was able to come into Hank's home and help him with daily tasks like laundry and preparing food. Before his stroke, Hank never thought about what if. He hadn't prepared for the expenses that came with long-term care or for the lack of income and the bills that added up while he was unable to work for several weeks. Hank says he can't change what happened in the past, but he can change what's happening now. Nobody knows when something similar is going to happen that is going to require you to get help and Hank wants to make sure his son and others prepare for that moment ahead of time. As we've seen with Hank, anyone can be in need of long-term care at any point in their life. Besides age, accidents, illnesses, strokes, and other chronic conditions can all lead you to need long-term care. Cognitive illnesses, such as Alzheimer's and dementia are one of the leading causes for long-term care, as well. According to GenWorth, 5.8 million Americans currently have Alzheimer's, and that number continues to grow steadily. In fact, by 2050, this number is projected to increase to almost 14 million. For more information on Alzheimer's and dementia, you can visit our official YouTube channel for our playlist dedicated to Alzheimer's and Dementia educational videos. Age, gender, family and housing situation, health, and lifestyle all factor into whether or not you will need long-term care. As you get older, it becomes more likely that you will need long term care. Gender goes hand in hand with age, as women have a greater likelihood of needing long-term care than men because of their likelihood to live longer than men. People who live alone and are without a support system in their area are more likely to need care from a paid caregiver. People living with family or having a support system in the area don't have a lower risk of needing long-term care, but they most likely will not need full-time care from a paid caregiver, as they have loved ones near that may be able to help provide care in some way. Having any chronic health conditions, like diabetes or high blood pressure, or a family history of chronic health conditions may also increase your risk of needing long-term care. Just like with most things in life, having a poor diet and lack of exercise can increase your risk of needing long-term care. Thinking about and preparing for the what if, as Hank said earlier, can make all the difference when the time actually comes that you need long-term care. Preparing funds ahead of time, whether it be starting a new account to save specifically for long-term care or other health costs or deciding on an amount of retirement money to use can help you and your family budget for a future that may include long-term care. Getting regular check-ups and leading a healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthy foods, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and getting an adequate amount of exercise can help you combat the need for long-term care, but it won't make certain that you won't need long-term care in the future. We never know what will happen, so it is best to be prepared. When planning for long-term care, having an idea of how you will pay for the associated costs is a good start. You will also need to determine if a family member will provide care for you in your own home, or possibly in theirs. If you choose to go with professional home care services, you will have to determine what sort of care you want to receive from them and they can help you in deciding what type of care may be best suited for your needs. There are a few different options you can choose from for long-term care and many of them will depend on what level of care you will be needing, which you most likely will not know until the time comes. There are three main types of care settings you need to know about when choosing what type of long-term care is best for you, in home care, community care, and facility care. The in-home care option means that a caregiver can help you with daily tasks such as personal care, hygiene, bathroom assistance, and memory care. They can also assist with any domestic needs that you may have as well like laundry, cleaning, cooking, transportation for shopping and appointments. One of the nice features of home care is that the care is customized specifically to the individual and not a one size fits all approach. People with cognitive illnesses can benefit from the home care option due to the close one-on-one interaction they will have with the caregiver and from being in their familiar environment at home. Adult day care is an example of community care. Adult day care provides a safe place for a care receiver to stay while their loved ones are working or away for a few days. It also allows seniors to socialize and participate in activities they find enjoyable. Many families choose this option when they are the primary caregiver and work at the same time or when they want to make sure that their loved one is getting the social interaction they need. However, most adult day cares have criteria that individuals must meet to make sure they are a good fit for their programs. Facility options include assisted living and nursing homes. Assisted livings are recommended for individuals that don't require twenty-four-hour care and are able to stay on their own for a period of time. Depending on the facility, it could be a few hours at a time, or it could be overnight. Most assisted living facilities also have someone on standby in case of emergencies. Nursing homes are a great option for patients that require full-time care and do not have the support system that is able to provide it at home or they need even more help than their family is able to provide. Often times people with cognitive illnesses will end up needing to live in some type of a facility during their long-term care. There are also specialized facilities for cognitive illnesses or specific memory units within a facility that take care of those patients. Patients in memory units quite often have more bad days than good by the time they end up living in a memory unit. The long-term care crisis in America is only just beginning. With the aging population rising and the cost of health care at an all-time high, we can expect the crisis to worsen. It's important to plan ahead now, so that when the time comes, and it may come sooner than you think, you will be prepared for it.

A new study from Generations United, Family Matters: Multigenerational Living Is on the Rise and Here to Stay, finds that the number of Americans living in a multigenerational household with three or more generations has nearly quadrupled over the past decade, with a dramatic increase of 271 percent from 2011 to 2021 (7 percent vs. 26 percent). Our report found that 66 percent of those living in a multigenerational household say the economic climate was a factor in their living arrangement. Among the top reported causes, 34 percent said the need for eldercare was a reason and 34% said childcare was a reason. In this episode—Larry Nisenson, senior vice president and chief commercial officer of Genworth's U.S. Life Insurance Division—joins Generations United's Executive Director Donna Butts to discuss his own role as a caregiver to his parents, ways employee caregivers can advocate for resources, and how employers can support employee caregivers. "The best we can do as the advocates for caregivers is try and tell that story and arm the emerging caregiver with all of the tools and help we can provide for them to make that burden as easy as we can." —Larry NisensonResources mentioned in the show:• Family Matters: Multigenerational Living Is on the Rise and Here to Stay• GenWorth sites for advocacy: GenWorth.com and CareScout.com Support the show (https://generationsunited.wufoo.com/forms/support-generations-united/)

Nobody plans to be a caregiver – you're suddenly thrust into this role when you least expect it, and Larry has been through it twice.

The entertaining Genworth Financial team joins us from OPEX Week 2020 to tell us their enterprise's transformation story—or journey, more accurately. Kathleen starts off by explaining her view of the company 15 years ago: “It was a very siloed organization. It was very much command and control; very hierarchical. We were focused very much on our processes, like manufacturing, because we came from GE.” Sometimes, as Martijn is quick to interject, they were focusing on the wrong processes. Their new goal was to focus on the customer and increase associate empathy. The leadership team achieved this with some creative physical props that mimic certain hardships their clients experience. However, leading by fear negatively impacts the service a customer receives as well, so Genworth devised a new workforce strategy. “If you really truly believe that the customer is the most important person--because he or she pays your salary--then the front line employees are the most important people, and therefore, your team leaders are the most important leaders. Most people leave their leader. They don't leave the organization.” The team details how they achieved this monumental task.
