Who's your quarterback?  What's your defense?

Who's your quarterback? What's your defense?

Author: Diane Stoddart, Certified Long Term Care Consultant, CLTC September 18, 2025 Duration: 9:23
It's football season! This week, Diane compares football to LTC planning. Every team needs a quarterback, position players and a strong defense. We also need depth - a back up plan in case something or someone isn't the right fit for our needs. We need strategies and gameplans so we are prepared for tomorrow. The most difficult part of LTC planing is we never know what we're going to need to defend against or when we need to be ready to defend. No one is sending a schedule in advance, so we need to prepare today to have the best plan we can obtain no matter who our opponent is. I'll be your coach and help you strengthen your strategies and your team so you can all be Prepared for Tomorrow. Email me at diane@preparing4tomorrow.com and I'll email you a Planning Guide to help you start thinking about how and where and with whom you would want to live if you can no longer live independently. Schedule a phone or zoom meeting wih me to start designing your gameplan here
