Getting Prepared

One of my coworkers asked me if I knew anyone that used AARP today.  I told her that my mom is a member of AARP.  She saw one of the commercials on television and did a bit of research before joining.

She asked because she is helping her parents find a medicare supplement.  They are retired now and want to get things set up so when they need to have something done medical-wise they will have the appropriate insurance coverage.  Both of them are in good health but they do a have a family history of heart disease.

I told her my mom is very happy with her AARP insurance and hasn’t had any problems with them at all.  She also purchased funeral insurance so we wouldn’t have to find the money to pay for it ourselves.  My mom really likes to have everything laid out and ready to go to make it easy for herself and others.  She has a binder with all of her medical history, doctors, and insurance plans in it so if she ever needs to be taken care of by one of us it’s all in one place.  I love my mom and am so happy that she is so organized and well prepared.
