Exploring Financial Tools for Families and Caregivers — Interview with Doug Buss
Part 2 of 7 | Financial Wellness Series
In the second installment of our Financial Wellness Video Series, Doug Buss, founder of YourStyle Financial, joins Rafiq Punjani from Right At Home to discuss an important topic — the financial tools available to families and private caregivers who want to help their loved ones remain at home for as long as possible.
Doug explains that with the rising cost of living and increasing demand for in-home care, families need to understand what programs and financial supports are available. One of these programs is B.O.S.S., which includes Self and Family Managed Care — an option that allows families to manage funds directly to provide care for their loved ones in a home environment.
“Our role is to assess the individual’s and the family’s financial resources,” says Doug. “From there, we can determine what’s available, what’s missing, and how to fill those gaps — whether through programs or private planning.”
Doug also highlights an innovative insurance solution called Home Care Expense Protection, which provides access to funds when someone can no longer care for themselves. This coverage helps pay for private homecare services above and beyond what the province provides, offering families greater flexibility and peace of mind.
