Financial Wellness for the Caregiver

You can’t predict every turn in the caregiving journey. You can be better prepared for it.

 

Financial wellness as a caregiver isn’t simply about having enough money.

 

It’s about understanding what may be ahead, knowing your options, protecting what matters, and making informed decisions before a crisis makes those decisions for you.

 

The Green Path helps you look at the financial side of caregiving with greater clarity—from essential documents and long-term planning to changing care needs, housing decisions, and everyday budgeting.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR - JESSICA LINZEL CANNON

Financial Knowledge Meets Caregiving Experience

Jessica Lizel Cannon brings an unusual combination of experience to Financial Wellness.

 

As a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Dementia Practitioner, family caregiver, author, and educator, Jessica understands that caregiver financial decisions rarely exist only on a spreadsheet.

 

They’re connected to health. Family. Fear. Grief. Responsibility. Time. Relationships. And an uncertain future.

The Green Path brings those pieces together to help caregivers approach the financial side of the journey more proactively.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Financial Stress Is About More Than Money

Caregiving can introduce financial decisions you never expected to make.

 

You may suddenly find yourself managing someone else’s bills, trying to understand legal documents, researching long-term care, comparing living arrangements, balancing your own financial needs with someone else’s, or wondering how you’ll afford what comes next.

 

And many of those decisions arrive while you’re already emotionally exhausted.

 

The Green Path is designed to help you step out of reaction mode and begin looking ahead—one decision, one conversation, and one plan at a time.

The goal isn't to predict everything. It's to become better prepared for what you can.

Is the Green Path Right for You?

This course may be a good fit if:

  • You're worried about the future cost of caregiving.
  • You aren't sure whether important documents and decision-making authority are in place.
  • You're managing—or preparing to manage—a loved one's finances.
  • You're beginning to research assisted living, memory care, or other care arrangements.
  • You're struggling to balance caregiving expenses with your own financial needs.
  • You want to understand your options before circumstances force you to make decisions quickly.
  • You're ready to move from reacting to financial stress toward proactively preparing for what may come next.

The purpose of financial wellness isn’t to eliminate every unknown.    It’s to help you become more aware of what may be ahead, understand the decisions you may face, organize what you can today, and protect both your loved one’s needs and your own future.
