The White House Conference On Aging (WHCOA) recently met to discuss many of the issues senior citizens will face as they plan for retirement. At the WHCOA event Bank of America partnered with the University Of Southern California Leonard Davis School Of Gerontology to release resources that can assist Americans with preparing for issues of cognitive decline. A white paper titled Addressing Memory & Your Family was released to provide readers with a step-by-step approach to building a plan that would focus on a wide range of issues dealing with both the practical and emotional aspects of cognitive impairment. In this column experts on these issues answered a series of important questions about the sort of symptoms family members need to look for and the best way to go about making a plan.
