In this essential episode of the Senior Matters Podcast, host Mark E. Wight is joined by fiduciary financial advisor Scott Summerlin from Starlifter Wealth Management for a discussion about  retirement planning, investment strategy, and the evolving needs of seniors. Scott brings over two decades of experience and holds both Series 7 and Series 66 licenses, giving him the expertise to offer personalized, relationship-based financial advice—free from commission-driven product sales. This episode opens with a clear explanation of what it means to be a fiduciary and why those standards matters so much, especially for retirees who are relying on fixed income, drawing down assets, and navigating unpredictable markets. Scott explains how the financial industry has shifted away from transactional sales to focus on long-term relationships and trust, and how that benefits clients over time. Listeners will gain valuable insight into the differences between pre-retirement and post-retirement financial strategies. Unlike younger investors who have decades to rebound from market dips, retirees must manage monthly withdrawals while preserving long-term value. Scott breaks down how market volatility impacts older investors and why timing and recovery windows matter more in retirement. The conversation also highlights the risks of DIY investing for seniors. From following outdated advice to misjudging market trends, Scott discusses why self-managing finances can be dangerous without a full understanding of evolving products, tax implications, and age-specific needs. He also notes how communication preferences shift with age, with many retirees needing more frequent and supportive interactions than younger clients. Scott and Mark discuss common investor behavior pitfalls, especially the urge to sell during downturns. Scott emphasizes the importance of staying invested and explains how professional investors outperform retail investors by about 3% annually, not through secret formulas, but through disciplined, long-term strategy and avoiding emotional decision-making. As inflation and taxes continue to affect retirees' purchasing power, Scott explores how conservative investments can actually lose money in real terms. He explains how Treasury bonds and diversified stock portfolios can help offset inflation if used strategically, while also balancing risk. This episode is a must-listen for retirees, pre-retirees, and anyone supporting aging family members. Whether you're worried about inflation, market fluctuations, or making your savings last, Scott Summerlin offers practical, expert guidance to help you make sound financial decisions in retirement.

On this episode of Senior Matters, host Mark E. Wight speaks with Robert Vande Merwe, Executive Director of the Idaho Healthcare Association continue their conversation about major changes impacting senior care and healthcare providers in Idaho.  Their conversation is based on the 2025 Idaho Legislative Session. Starting July 1, state regulations for nursing homes, hospitals, and home health agencies will be eliminated, shifting more responsibility to federal oversight. We discuss how these changes affect care quality, patient admissions, and facility inspections. Robert also addresses Idaho's nursing shortage and new delegation rules allowing LPNs to conduct focused assessments—offering temporary relief for overwhelmed RNs. The conversation rounds out with bold education initiatives including high school LPN programs and stackable credentials aimed at growing the healthcare workforce. Finally, Robert shares advocacy efforts around potential federal Medicaid cuts and their devastating implications for Idahoans. Whether you're a caregiver, senior, or healthcare worker, this is essential listening to stay informed on what's changing in Idaho's healthcare landscape. Listen to Part 1 of the podcast at  

We're joined by Frances Reaves, who shares insights from her work in estate and Medicaid planning, on how to get your parents ready for long term care. Frances explains the importance of preparing for elder care before it's urgently needed, sharing her personal experience with her own parents and husband, who is currently navigating Alzheimer's care. The conversation dives into the realities of elder care, including the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, the high costs of in-home versus facility care, and the value of long-term care insurance.  We discuss...  Francis Reads is an elder law attorney specializing in estate and Medicaid planning. She founded a service within her law firm called “Parent Your Parents” to support elder care planning. Elder care generally begins around age 65, when Medicare becomes available. A major challenge in elder care is systemic apathy and poor communication in facilities. In-home care is the gold standard if money is no object, costing $12,000–$15,000 per month. Reverse mortgages and long-term care insurance are common strategies to fund elder care. Long-term care insurance works similarly to car insurance—ideally unused but crucial. The cost of long-term care and facilities can quickly deplete even sizable retirement savings. The best age to purchase long-term care insurance is between 55 and 60. For-profit facilities are incentivized to keep patients alive, not necessarily to improve their quality of life. If you have no one to care for you, plan ahead with long-term care insurance, savings, and legal documents like power of attorney and healthcare proxy. People who choose to provide full-time care often risk financial ruin if long-term care plans or savings are not in place. There's potential to arbitrage life expectancy in financial tools like reverse mortgages or life insurance. Many elders struggle with losing independence, especially around giving up driving. Adult children often become parental figures to their own parents, which can create emotional strain. Financial advisors and lawyers play a key role in spotting and preventing elder financial abuse. Professionals should watch for signs of undue influence or financial exploitation and speak up if concerned.

In this compelling episode of the Senior Matters Podcast, estate planning attorney Mark E. Wight welcomes Robert Vande Merwe, Executive Director of the Idaho Health Care Association, for an overview of what seniors can expect from the 2025 Legislative Session. We think it's important to share what might be impacted by new legislation on senior healthcare services across Idaho. Together, they discuss how Idaho's senior care facilities—including skilled nursing homes, assisted living centers, and in-home care providers—are struggling to hire and retain qualified staff, particularly in rural areas. Vande Merwe sheds light on how Medicaid reimbursement rates often fall below minimum wage levels, making it nearly impossible for providers to remain financially stable without sacrificing the quality of care. Listeners will also learn about a recent legislative shift toward managed care and how it may further limit access to services for seniors and people with disabilities. Vande Merwe shares why now is the time for families to get involved—whether by contacting legislators, supporting elder care organizations, or making personal financial plans for future healthcare needs. Whether you're a caregiver, healthcare professional, policymaker, or simply planning for retirement, this episode delivers a powerful call to action. This is the episode 1 of 2. Understand the impact of state funding decisions, learn what advocacy efforts are underway, and explore how proper estate planning can help safeguard your access to care.

 What if you could look into a crystal ball and see exactly what your family's long-term care needs will be in the future?   In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lily Vittayarukskul, the brilliant CEO and co-founder of Waterlily, an AI-powered platform that uses over 500 million data points to help families plan for the financial and emotional realities of aging. Lily is a World Economic Forum Top Innovator, a patented inventor, and someone who turned a heartbreaking personal experience into a mission-driven company that is disrupting the way we think about long-term care.   As someone with two parents in their 80s, this topic hits close to home for me—and I know it will for many of you too. We talked about everything from how she built Waterlily and earned the trust of major investors to the importance of planning so families aren't torn apart in times of crisis.   These are the highlights of our conversation:   - Waterlily Predicts Long-Term Care Needs with AI: Waterlily uses over 500 million data points to help families predict their future long-term care needs based on lookalike families. It's like looking into a data-driven future mirror.   -A Personal Family Crisis Sparked the Mission: Lily was only 16 when a long-term care event involving her aunt devastated her family emotionally and financially. That experience inspired her to shift from a career in aerospace to founding a company focused on preventing that same pain for others.   - Bold Pivot from B2C: Originally aimed at consumers, Waterlily pivoted to serve the financial services industry, empowering advisors to have better long-term care conversations with clients. This B2B strategy became the core of their scalable, subscription-based model.   - Built for Impact, Not Just Speed: Instead of rushing a product to market, Lily spent two years building a strong technical and data foundation before launching. That decision paid off with major partnerships, including Prudential and several Fortune 100 companies.   - Culture of Trust and Smart Scaling: Despite impressive growth, Lily keeps her team intentionally lean, leveraging large language models and automation to scale efficiently. She emphasizes trust and alignment with all at her company as the foundation for sustainable success.   About the guest: Lily Vittayarukskul, Waterlily's CEO and Co-Founder, started college at 14, and by 16, she was venturing into a career in aerospace engineering as an intern at NASA. However, that same year, her life took a dramatic turn when her Aunt, who raised her and was a cornerstone in her first-generation immigrant family, was diagnosed with terminal stage colon cancer. The ensuing financial and emotional devastation, exacerbated by their family's lack of preparedness, tore permanent rifts in her family, and compelled her to pivot her career from aerospace to a lifelong dedication to building solutions in healthcare.   Fueled by personal tragedy and a resolve to forge change, Lily graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in Genetics and Data Science and led product and engineering at multiple startups before founding Waterlily.   Connect with Lily: Website: https://www.waterlily.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lily-vittayarukskul/   Connect with Allison: Feedspot has named Disruptive CEO Nation as one of the Top 25 CEO Podcasts on the web, and it is ranked the number 6 CEO podcast to listen to in 2025! https://podcasts.feedspot.com/ceo_podcasts/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonsummerschicago/ Website: https://www.disruptiveceonation.com/    #CEO #leadership #startup #founder #business #businesspodcast  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most delicate yet essential discussions families need to have: aging and finances. It's not just about planning for the future—it's about ensuring clarity and peace of mind for everyone involved. Many parents assume their children are only interested in their inheritance, while adult children are more focused on logistics—whether their parents are financially secure, who will make decisions, and what kind of support will be needed.At the same time, adult children often think their parents only want to talk about maintaining independence or that they're unwilling to discuss financial matters. In reality, many parents want to share their wishes but struggle with how much detail to provide. Some are hesitant because they fear their preferences may be ignored or overridden. Others want to pass on their financial values, ensuring their wealth is used to support family members or causes they care about.The key to bridging these communication gaps is to approach the conversation with curiosity rather than control. Keeping discussions casual and starting with shared goals—like ensuring the family is prepared—can help ease tension. If starting the conversation feels awkward, using a real-life example (or even a made-up one) can make it more natural. A financial professional can also be a valuable resource in facilitating these discussions, helping to clarify complex topics like estate planning and long-term care preferences.   Amy explains how this might work.A structured yet informal family meeting with a financial advisor can ensure that everyone understands the financial landscape, responsibilities, and expectations. Whether it's deciding who will handle the bills, managing digital assets, or simply settling who gets a sentimental ceramic cat, these discussions help eliminate surprises and prevent misunderstandings down the road.The bottom line: these conversations don't have to be overwhelming. By starting small, approaching with curiosity, and focusing on shared goals, families can navigate aging and financial planning with confidence. And if it all feels too daunting, professionals like Amy Walls at Thimbleberry Financial are available to help guide the process.
