72% of adults over 65 will need long-term care, yet most families don’t know where to start. That’s the Knowledge Gap—the first of many gaps in elder care. They don’t know their options, what questions to ask, or where to turn for help. As an Elder Care Advisor, I bridge these gaps. There’s the Financial Gap—many assume Medicare covers long-term care, while others don’t realize there are creative ways to pay for it. The Emotional Gap—caregiving often leads to guilt, resentment, and fractured family relationships. The Planning Gap—waiting until a crisis means fewer choices and more stress. And the Social Gap—isolation robs seniors of joy, independence, and even physical health. Each of these gaps creates real challenges, but they don’t have to. In the coming weeks, I’ll break down each one and share how to bridge them before they become a crisis.
