We plan for many things in life – birthdays, weddings, vacations, and even groceries – but we typically don’t think about planning for aging. In this episode, two Dementia Care Specialists – Trisha Witham from Barron, Rusk and Washburn counties and Carla Berscheit from Chippewa and Dunn counties – talk to host Lisa Wells of the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County about creating a plan for aging well.

Statistics state that about 60% of us will need care at some point in our lives. It is something we don’t want to think about but a reality we must face. Witham and Berscheit sit down with Wells to discuss the many factors that make planning ahead difficult and what we can do now to better prepare us for what happens after we retire – from tracking our health to having those conversations with our loved ones.
