Navigating the financial aspects of senior living can feel overwhelming, whether you're planning to stay in your own home with added support or considering a move to an independent or assisted living community. This seminar is designed to answer two of the most common questions: “How much do these communities cost, and can I afford to live there?” “How can I afford to stay in my own home?” This in-depth discussion led by a panel of experts who break down the costs of independ

More and more people are choosing to downsize, rightsize, or otherwise simplify their lives after retirement by moving to retirement communities. The decision about which community is the best fit isn’t always easy to make. With so many to choose from - all of them having different amenities and pricing structures - how does one know which one is right for them? At this month’s seminar, we’ll talk with people who have “been there and done that.” Through live interviews with s

We all intuitively know that our well-being is fundamental to our health and overall happiness. Having a car and our own set of keys ranks right up there with having air to breathe and fresh water to drink – it’s hard to imagine being without. That said, having a car and a license to drive (at any age) also come with a great deal of responsibility. At this past month’s seminar, we talked with healthcare, legal, and local law enforcement experts about the challenges associated

While most agree that their current home is where their heart is, we must also consider the fact that our hearts (and our stuff) may require new living arrangements to suit our changing lifestyle and healthcare needs over time. When people retired at 65 and then only lived a few more years, staying put made perfect sense. Now, as people living well into their 80’s, 90’s and even 100’s, it’s simply not practical to assume one will live in the same place forever. Learn about th

When did you last take a fun trip? The thought of planning for a trip can sometimes be overwhelming, not to mention the notion that travel must be expensive. Unfortunately, as we age, we sometimes believe that we are too old to travel and even lament missed opportunities in our youth. The good news is there are fun travel opportunities for us no matter our age or budget. What are the best resources for going on a trip? What are some great excursions for couples or solo senior

Whether it’s for you or a loved one, being an advocate is important. While we would each like to think that the professionals we encounter in the course of daily life are looking out for our best interest and are there to help us make good decisions, this is often not “truly” the case. Even those genuinely wishing to help us are sometimes swayed by financial incentives, lack of available time or even access to needed information. And while you might not think of yourself as a

Have you considered the possibility of moving to a maintenance-free neighborhood designed specifically for retirees? Or maybe you’re planning for your future care needs and want to begin taking advantage of the amenities offered by a full-service independent senior living community. The first step is to understand your options and learn about the various amenities offered from community to community. But where is the best place to begin? This seminar focuses on strategies for

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

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.

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.
