Welcome To the Retired Living Truth Seminar Series Learning Center

Understandably, there is a lot of uncertainty and fear around the prospect of us or a loved one developing memory problems and what this will mean. One of the most common questions tends to be, does aging mean at some point we are destined to lose our memory? The goal of this month’s seminar is to debunk many of the longstanding myths associated with age related changes, and brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Some of the many questions the expert panelists address include: h

In a world where we find ourselves more connected by technology, and as information is increasingly more easily accessible to scammers, we are all far more susceptible to scams than ever before. While the Truth Series has addressed the topic of scams in the past, we continue to hear from seminar attendees and clients alike who have been victims of both the latest scams as well as some of the older scams that have become even more believable. At this seminar, the panel of loca

You might be surprised to learn that more than half of adults in the United States say they use some form of alternative medicine. What once might have been considered by some as fringe medicine, is now becoming mainstream for very good reason. With more research and doctor-tested alternatives to conventional mainstream western medicine, we now have more options available for both treating and preventing illness as well as enhancing our ongoing health and well-being. So, what

No matter how much you had looked forward to retirement, life continues to change as we age. What we thought retirement would feel like does not necessarily match up with reality, especially as we age. Getting older doesn’t always mean slowing down. In fact, for many it is a time of exploration, adventure, and newfound friendships. As you define and redefine what retirement living means to you, it is important to continue including the things that bring you joy and find rewar

Everyone seems to worry about money as they get older. This universal concern often has less to do with how much wealth one has amassed and more to do with uncertainties about one’s financial affairs. How much money will I need? Will I have enough to leave some behind for others? What if my needs change over time? How do I ensure I don’t outlive my financial resources? These are all common questions explored in this seminar on money and aging. Events Speakers Christopher Abts

Selling the home that you have lived in for two, three, four or even five decades can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be so overwhelming. Real estate agents can be helpful, but they all seem to give a different (and often conflicting) advice, so who should I believe? Where do I begin and what should I expect before, during, and after my home goes on the market? Get the FACTS about what is involved in selling a home in today’s market and the top mistakes to a

No one likes to consider the possibility of ever having to move to a “nursing home” or long-term healthcare community. It is for this reason that few people do any advance planning or investigation into these or alternative options. While only a small percentage of Americans live in a nursing home providing extended full-time care, studies show that 70% or more of people over age 65 will need at least some level of assistance and care during their lifetime. In this seminar, w

Computers, smart-phones, and tablets can offer many benefits to people of all ages. However, for many seniors the benefits can be overshadowed by fear, frustration, or uncertainty. Learn some of the ways retirees are using technology to simplify and improve their lives, strategies for avoiding online scams, and educational resources for shortening the learning curve.

Planning ahead for both living and dying is never an easy task, but knowledge is power. Learn about planning tools like trusts and wills from local experts. Learn how you should be holding title to your current home and why this is so important. You’ll also learn how a Deed Upon Death fits into this along with the good, bad, and ugly! Get the truth about doing nothing, the probate process, and how it can be more costly than you might think, along with the often overlooked com

As we age, so do the homes we own. We get many questions about what do with the current home when downsizing. At this seminar panelists answered questions such as: When downsizing, should I buy or rent my next home? And should I move near family and/or friends? Should I keep my current home as a rental property or even a vacation property when I move? In this low interest rate environment would a rental property make for alternative stream of income? If I did rent my house fo

During this seminar we explore the benefits offered by senior living communities, as well as the costs and associated services. In addition, we take a deep dive into how to fully investigate whether a senior community is right for you or someone you care about. Learn the differences between independent, assisted, memory care, and long-term care options, and get the truth about what some communities don’t want you to know.

People say the thought of moving out of a home they have lived in for decades is often overwhelming. They allow fear and anxiety about the simplifying or downsizing process to cause them to stay in a place or in a situation that no longer serves their needs. When do you know it is time to move or simplify? If the thought of simplifying or moving seems overwhelming, this is the session for you. Learn how others just like you have overcome their fears and made the decision to s
