Episode 54: Embracing Life After 60 with Annalee Kruger: Medicare Won’t Pay for That: The Truth About Senior Care & Aging Plans
In Part 1 of Embracing Life After 60 with Annalee Kruger, Robin McCoy sits down with Annalee Kruger, founder of Care Right Inc., to talk about the “thing nobody wants to talk about”… until a crisis forces it.
Annalee shares what she’s learned after decades in senior care: most families don’t plan until a medical emergency hits—then they’re trying to understand dementia, caregiver burnout, Medicare vs. Medicaid, assisted living vs. nursing homes, and the true cost of aging in place… all at once.
You’ll hear why proactive aging planning creates calmer, more productive family conversations—and why waiting often leads to overwhelm, conflict, and expensive last-minute decisions.
✅ Topics include:
- Caregiver burnout and family mediation
- Dementia education (wandering, safety, supervision needs)
- Why “Medicare will pay for it” is a common (and costly) myth
- Power of attorney, living wills, and what families scramble for in crisis
- The real monthly cost of 24/7 home care and why planning matters
