Although mostly overlooked, quality of life in retirement is often dictated by things other than money, such as your outlook on life, social activities and hobbies. Looking at those issues should happen months if not years before actually retiring.
“Everybody makes mistakes,” said Aaron Van Valkenburg, Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources manager. “Some are obvious, some are hidden. It’s helpful to take a step back and look at the most common mistakes people make in their retirement. Many of those mistakes have little to do with financial issues. Avoiding these missteps can make retirement enjoyable, comfortable and rewarding.”

Long-term care services include medical and non-medical care for people living with a chronic illness or disability. Most long-term care services assist people with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing and using the restroom. This type of care can be provided at home, in the community or a facility.
“When it comes to long term care options, we are very lucky to live in Pierce County,” said Aaron Van Valkenburg, Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources manager. “Whether because of a sudden accident, illness or chronic condition, families and individuals often encounter the need for some form of long-term care. There are many options that can seem confusing, especially when families must make choices in a crisis. Knowing how to tap into community resources in advance, and pay for them, is crucial.”
