Family Services A Caregiving Story

1. Family Services A Caregiving Story

3. David Iglehart started his career at the University of Iowa, graduating from the College of Dentistry in 1983. David completed a hospital dentistry residency at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and practiced family dentistry in Davenport for 30 years. After his retirement, he began his second career teaching prosthodontics as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the College of Dentistry.

6. Dr. Iglehart’s family lived modestly, and the children were expected to pay for their own schooling. As their parents aged, it became evident to David and his two siblings that their parents were likely to exhaust their retirement savings. Fortunately, their parents were open about their dire financial future. They trusted their three children to do what was best on their behalf and assigned powers of attorney to David.

9. Rhonda scheduled appointments for David and his family to tour senior living facilities and joined them on these visits acting as a personal and professional advocate. In the case of David’s father — a military veteran — Rhonda was able to recommend a little-known program through the Veteran’s Administration that provided substantial additional income to contribute to their living expenses.
