As boomers age, more caregivers to aging parents will be needed. But it can be difficult for families to discuss strategies for seniors to age in place and manage estates. Laura Tamblyn Watts has some tips. The president and chief executive officer of CanAge, a national advocacy organization for seniors, wrote a book, Let’s Talk About Aging Parents, to help families address the difficult topics. “Those power dynamics you had when you were a kid are probably still there,” she says. “You’re going to have to acknowledge them and find ways around them.” She recently spoke with Deanne Gage about icebreakers for these important discussions and how advisors can help.

Remember how dentures weren't originally part of Canada's Dental Care Plan? Well, thanks to all the amazing advocacy work by CanAge and our fellow colleagues and supporters, we WON BIG for Canada's seniors! We pushed specifically for coverage of both partial and full dentures, highlighting the significant impact on overall health – not just for dental, but social, dietary, and many other positive health outcomes. We also asked for a simplified means of accessing the program - which has also been more streamlined with a process that mirrors accessing private dental insurance, delivered via SunLife. Check out all that will be covered for those who apply and are processed starting May 1, 2024 at https://lnkd.in/gfkCBAmS. This is a fantastic step forward in ensuring all Canadians have access to essential dental care. Huge thanks to the federal government for listening and making this crucial change to the CDCP program. This is a win 🙌 for seniors' health and well-being across Canada! #CanAge #CDCP #DentalCareForAll #SeniorsHealth P.S. Stay tuned for more updates from CanAge on the hashtag #CDCP rollout, how to determine your eligibility, and get coverage!
