Don't Let the Challenges of Aging Defeat You or Your Loved One

 

Families and individuals can be impacted by the emotional and financial diemmas associated with aging. The average age of a caregier who is caring for someone over 50 is 63 years old. The average length of caregiving is 10 years. Those statistics illustrate that it is important to plan for the future now in order to determine the needs of the family and the individual.

Mary will be available to answer attendees'questions about the role that a financial advisor plays in helping families ensure that all the pieces of the plan for care are considered and followed through on.

This day of workshops, sponsored in part by Mosaic Financial Partners, will help empower families and baby boomers planning for the future by offering solutions, ideas and knowledge on adapting to the challenges of again. The workshops will cover topics such as the financial tools and government programs that can help pay for long term care and stress free caregiving.
