St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) February 8, 2004
54 million families in the U. S. are struggling to care for an aging parent. Medical technology has allowed us to live much longer. But with longevity comes a series of questions that few can answer. How will I be cared for? Who will care for me? How will I pay for care when I need it?
VanBooven comments, “We have 78 million baby-boomers racing toward retirement in the next 10 years. Currently we know that 1 in 4 families are struggling to care for an aging parent…with all of this in mind, it’s time to provide everyone with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding their own “care” needs, and the needs of their aging family members. I get hundreds of emails every week from families all across the country who are looking for answers. I am excited and pleased that KFTK and Wealth Protection Advisors have had the forethought and insightfulness to make this happen.”
Valerie VanBooven is the author of Aging Answers: Secrets to Successful Long-Term Care Planning, Caregiving and Crisis Management. She has been featured in Time Magazine, on NBCÂ’s Today Show, on CNNFNÂ’s Your Money, and in dozens of national publications and radio shows for her expertise in long-term care, the economics of aging, and Medicare Reform issues.

Dave Glover - host of “The Dave Glover Show” weekdays from 4pm-7pm on 97.1FM Talk adds, “Having had my own experience with a family member who needed long-term care, I can tell you that I wish there had been a resource for our family when things seemed to be falling apart. It doesn’t matter how well educated you are, or how much you love your parents, navigating through the crisis of long-term care is overwhelming emotionally and financially. Even as an attorney, I wasn’t sure what all of our options were, or who to call for advice. We are all very happy that the listening audience will finally be able to hear the answers straight from the experts.”
“Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise” will begin airing on Sundays starting March 7th on 97.1FM in St. Louis. Nationwide, the show will be streaming live via the internet at www.971talk. com.

Listeners are encouraged to call in and ask questions, or debate timely topics.
