This month VanBooven has released her latest in a series of websites dedicated to seniors and their family members who are constantly looking for answers.
www.4seniorsathome.com is the latest addition. 4seniorsathome.com explains some of the techniques and strategies that families are not aware of when it comes to staying at home, and staying safe at home.
VanBooven says, If you ask anyone where they want to be as they get older, the answer is almost always at Home. However, as we get older there are many tasks and everyday activities that become more difficult. 4seniorsathome.com gives families an education on the pros and cons of reverse mortgages. It helps them find personal emergency response systems, and introduces them to the File of Life", which every family should have. Although techniques and financial strategies like reverse mortgages arent right for everyone, they certainly can keep seniors who are strapped for cash at home much longer, and thats the goal."
A reverse mortgage is a federally regulated program for seniors 62 and older. It often helps seniors pay for prescription drugs, in-home care, pay off traditional mortgages, pay property taxes, and make much needed home repair.
There are so many options out there for seniors and their family members. My passion, mission, and vision is to make sure that all families have the down-to-earth information they need to make informed decisions. Consumers are making better choices when they have the facts- not the myth and misconception", Valerie comments.
