Step 2: Schedule your first Powwow with our convenient virtual calendar.
First Powwow: Determine available options for elder care planning services
We will discuss the different levels of care to help you decide how best to move forward for yourself or your loved one. Various elder care planning services can be determined by eligibility, which is directly tied to finances and health. This conversation is also an opportunity to discuss the emotional side of transition. We are happy to provide guidance and perspective to make conversation within the family more productive and less contentious.
Second Powwow: Visualize affordability and strategy
“What if…” is a phrase we hear a lot. If you’re deciding between various communities or styles of care, this is your opportunity to see the affordability of various elder care financial planning services. From this analysis, we can begin determining strategic spend down from available accounts and policies. We’ll also determine the feasibility and timeline for strategic estate planning, immediate annuities, PACE program, Veteran’s Aid and Attendance, and local community programs.
Third Powwow: Plan delivery
Your plan is complete and we have addressed family dynamics, delegating responsibilities, and a financial plan that illustrates your chosen care path with a list of recommendations. After plan delivery you’ll have access to eMoney for the remainder of the year. If you would like to retain ongoing advisor access please ask about our membership program.
The Price
Our plans for elder care planning services start at just $3,300. That’s half the price of most retirement community entrance fees! If additional or ongoing work is required, you may also be interested in our membership program.

National recommendations will be made when possible and with insight from affiliated elder care and financial networks. Quentara does not receive any referral fees or commissions if making a recommendation to a trusted professional.
It is perfectly fine to provide hard copies of requested information. However, the time it takes to scan and manually enter data will add time to the project and increase the cost.
