Seniors and their family members are invited to attend a seminar and talk by author Paul Hogan on Balancing Careers and Aging Families - Care Options and Resources for Decision-Making on Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Alpert Jewish Community Center, 3801 E. Willow St.
Hogan, co-author of "Stages of Senior Care: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Best Decisions," will be the keynote speaker. He will review topics such as financial planning for senior care, being a caregiver, insurance options and the state of senior care.
According to organizers, "A recent Home Instead Senior Care survey showed that planning for senior care is out of sight and out of mind for most adult children and seniors alike. In fact, half of all seniors ages 65 to 75 have not thought about their own future care needs, and nearly a quarter of 35- to 64-year-olds could not name a single senior care option available today. Even more startling: both seniors and adult children have the misconception that Social Security and Medicare will pay for senior care, while many are unfamiliar with the costs of today's care options."
Hogan will have copies of his book available for purchase. Proceeds will benefit the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation, which provides financial support of activities designed to improve the quality of life of seniors.
