Every Day Approximately 10,000 Americans Turn 65

Every day approximately 10,000 Americans turn 65*, and, like it or not, there will be issues. When any one of us or our family members are faced with cognitive decline, the process of pursuing care can feel overwhelming and uncertain. At Carson Advisory Group, we recently learned of a very important and meaningful resource in our Athens community - the UGA Cognitive Aging Research and Education Center (CARE). Established in 2019, CARE provides “a clinical, research, and outreach space where we deliver education on dementia risk reduction, conduct cutting-edge research and provide planning and support for persons with dementia and their care partners.”

Here’s a very moving and informational piece about the center: https://stories.uga.edu/an-act-of-love

In addition to creating awareness of valuable resources available, putting a proper plan in place can make all the difference in securing comprehensive care. As always, we’re here to help you and your family in every phase of life – please don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can help cultivate a financial plan, now as well as looking ahead to the future.
