When I'm 94 Elizabeth L Bewley

You may live to be 100 years old with all of your physical and mental abilities intact -- but imagine a distant future in which something unexpected happens -- perhaps an auto accident or the insidious development of dementia. Imagine that your new caregiver serves you a casserole made with canned peas and bland cheese, all while humming along to the twangy music she always finds on the radio. In this scenario, you've hated canned peas your whole life, you never could stand bland cheese, and you grit your teeth when she plays her favorite music. But since you had a stroke, you can't get the words out to complain. When I'm 94 offers a solution. You don't have to settle for a life you don't want, even if you can't do everything yourself as you age. You can control how your money, your health care, and your daily life are managed in the future -- regardless of any physical or cognitive limitations that may arise. You can specify in the present how you want your life to run in the future. You can create a team today to carry out your wishes later. Then you can relax, knowing that regardless of your future physical or cognitive state, your life will be managed as you want it to be.
