Clarity and Confidence in Planning for Your Next Chapter
What They’re Saying
“Perhaps the most thorough and current explanation of the topic. Easy to understand in simple-to-follow chapters. If you have aging parents, or are starting to think about your own future options, this is a great place to start.”
Jesse Slome, Director- American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance
“Brad Breeding strikes the perfect balance between providing an exceptionally comprehensive overview of retirement communities and making the material accessible and easy to understand. Choosing a retirement community is one of the most financially and personally significant decisions you’ll ever make, and you’re fortunate to have such a thoughtful and trustworthy guide. Brad highlights the key factors and subtle variables that can deeply influence your long-term happiness and well-being – insights that truly deserve careful consideration.”
Chris McLeod- Director (Retired) Osher Institute for Lifelong Learning (OLLI) at Duke University
“Brad has an exceptional gift for helping people make sense of one of life’s most complicated and emotional decisions—where and how to live in the next chapter of life. He approaches this work with both heart and intellect, blending sound financial guidance with a deep understanding of what really matters to people as they age.
What I appreciate most about Your Best Path Forward: A Practical Guide to Navigating Senior Living Options and Planning is that it’s grounded in reality, not sales talk. Brad genuinely wants readers to make confident, informed choices that align with their goals, values, and financial situation. He lays out the options clearly—especially when it comes to understanding Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs)—and helps readers ask the right questions.
I recommend this book to anyone beginning to explore retirement living options, as well as to adult children supporting their parents through the process. It’s trustworthy, practical, and filled with the kind of insight that can only come from someone who truly cares.”
