Planning for Retirement and End-of-Life Care
The plans individuals make for retirement strongly influence their well-being and financial security in old age. And end-of-life planning (writing living wills, selecting a durable power of attorney for health care, and holding informal dis-cussions with family members) can protect older adults from unwanted medical treatments should they become incapaci-tated and unable to express their preferences.
This e-newsletter highlights work by National Institute on
Aging (NIA)-supported researchers and others that examines
the impact of planning for retirement and end-of-life care on
the well-being of older people and their families.
