How it works
There’s no cost to speak with Resources For Living consultants. But if you choose to use services that have associated costs, you’ll need to pay those expenses. For example, if you need home cleaning help, you'll need to pay those costs.
See how it worked for Mary, Fran & Stan*
Mary cares for her husband with dementia
Mary cares for her husband with dementia
Mary and Bob have been married for 53 years. Unfortunately, Bob suffers from dementia and Mary has been Bob’s caregiver for the past several years. Although Mary’s love for Bob is unwavering, she finds the demands of caregiving tiring and challenging. She could really use a break. An Aetna Resources For Living consultant connects Mary with adult daycare services available in her area. Bob now enjoys a stimulating day each week and Mary finds guilt-free time for herself to reconnect with friends and her interests.
Support for Fran after hip replacement
Support for Fran after hip replacement
Fran’s hip replacement was successful and she’s completing a discharge planning education session with Nurse Pat from the Aetna Clinical Nurse team. Pat learns that Fran doesn’t have a support network at home — her children live in different cities. She connects Fran with an Aetna Resources For Living consultant. Knowing that Fran won’t be as mobile after her surgery, the consultant connects Fran with Meals On Wheels and a community transport program in her area. Now Fran can simply focus on healing.
Stan is ready to take the next step
Stan is ready to take the next step
Stan’s interested in retirement living options for his next phase of life. But he doesn’t know where to start. Stan connects with an Aetna Resource For Living consultant. Together, they look at retirement living options in Stan’s community based on specific criteria Stan finds important.
The consultant sets up time for an over-the-phone review of options in the area with Stan and his children. Stan’s now in a better spot to decide which retirement lifestyle option is best for him. He’s ready to take the next step.
