SUMMARY:Long Term Care Options from a Healthcare Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Long-term care (LTC) has been called “the greatest uninsured financial risk today.” That’s because most costs for extended care needed during recuperation from strokes\, accidents\, illnesses\, and operations are not covered by health insurance or Medicare. Experts say 70% of those who reach age 65 will need some type of long-term care (LTC) during their lifetimes. Long-term care insurance may minimize the impact of any LTC expenses you may incur in retirement. \nJoin Eileen Dunn as she discusses options for elder care\, the role state\, and Federal programs in LTC\, and types of LTC insurance available. Eileen is an expert in geriatric and elder care and helps families determine the best options available for their loved ones. She has degrees in Social Work and Health Services Administration\, is certified through the National Academy of Certified Care Managers and is a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. \nProgram administered by Associates of Clifton Park. Long-term care (LTC) insurance products are underwritten by multiple LTC insurers. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, July 30 from 11-11:45am at the MTEA Building.  This session will be held on the main level.  Registration is required\, please click here. \n
