Gut Punched: EP 123: When Caregiving Pressures Collide with Major Financial Decisions. Released September 28, 2026. Audio, 42 minutes 54 seconds.
What We Discussed
This episode is about the decisions caregivers face when a diagnosis meets the family's money: the home, the savings, and how to pay for long-term care.
- Whether to sell the house to pay for care. Jeff shares his own experience weighing whether to sell his home to cover care, and how an elder care attorney showed him there were other options.
- What the "we buy houses" side looks like from the inside. I used to work on that side. Now I help families protect a parent's home, and we talked about cash offers from someone who has been on the buying end of them.
- Whether to relocate a loved one for treatment. A segment with Dr. John Huffaker looks at whether families should move a loved one with Alzheimer's to the United States for treatment.
- Get qualified advice first. The thread through the whole episode: before a major financial decision made in a crisis, talk to someone qualified to look at the whole picture.
