President
Care Right, Inc.
Annalee Kruger is the President of Care Right Inc., the Co-Founder of Plan4LifeNow, and author of the Invisible Patient. For Annalee, providing proactive senior-care planning to families is more than just a career, it's her passion. With Annalee's over 29 years of experience she educates how financial advisors, families and caregivers can prepare for their aging loved one's care journey. Everything Annalee does is with the mission of improving quality of life by helping families and their aging relatives age as successfully as possible. Annalee started Care Right Inc, in 2012. Care Right is a virtual, nationwide, consultancy serving families by developing customized Aging Plans/Strategies. Adult children find themselves thrust into the role of family caregiving. In time, they realize their aging loved one's needs and safety are beyond what the family can provide. Caring for an aging loved one can be overwhelming, especially when a crisis occurs, or a family member acts as the primary caregiver. As the Concierge of Senior Care Planning, Care Right assists families nationwide in navigating the complexities associated with the aging process, caregiver burnout, dementia progression, end of life, choosing care communities, how to be a bold advocate, and help improve family relationships and communication. Through our services we develop proactive aging plans for those who want to get ahead of a medical crisis, provide them with tools such as the Grab and Go binder to keep their documents in order, and provide a done for you, customized Care Matrix where we complete care community research and provide them with the information to make informed decisions. Prior, she worked as a Social Worker, Marketing Director, and Executive Director in long term care communities for 18 years and saw a need for families to start discussing the "what whens" of aging sooner rather than later. Her goal is to reach families proactively, when they first start seeing the writing on the wall that things may not be going well with their aging parents such as falls, ER visits, weight loss, dementia progression, and spousal caregiver burnout. Unfortunately, 92% of families come to Care Right in crisis mode. Care Right helps untangle the predicaments the families are in and provides them a clear path via the Aging Plan/Strategy. www.CareRightInc.com [http://www.carerightinc.com] Annalee is also working with two international Accreditation firms to create an academy, ASCA—Aging Strategy Coach Academy. This allows her robust Aging Strategy training program to be accredited and certify the coaches who go through the academy. She trains financial advisors across the US in becoming an Elder Planning Specialist, teaching advisors to better identify AND address the needs of their aging clients or those clients who are adult children/family caregivers and are experiencing burn out. www.Plan4LifeNow.com [http://www.plan4lifenow.com] Annalee is an international speaker and podcast guest on aging planning, aging issues, dementia care, improving family communication throughout the aging process, end of life and many other topics.
