Why It’s So Important to Attend

Elder care isn’t easy. And it’s never free. The true cost is higher than you think.

Caring for elderly loved ones the way you saw your parents or grandparents do it doesn’t work anymore. It’s a different world today, but most people don’t find this out until it’s too late. This seminar explains how to navigate today’s elder care maze without making mistakes that have the potential to lead to financial, legal, and even personal ruin for everyone involved. If you are (or soon will be) providing support to an elderly loved one, whether that person is still living at home or has already moved into a long-term care facility, this seminar is for you.

Aging is Inevitable.
Mistakes are Avoidable

Navigate the elder care journey with more confidence. This free seminar sponsored by Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning will show you how. Attorney Glen Smith and Life Care Coordinator Charley Lewis will explain how to manage the financial, legal, and personal costs of elder care, including the hidden costs that most caregivers don’t discover until it’s too late. You’ll walk away with free education and sensible strategies for survival that will protect hard-earned wealth while increasing peace of mind for the whole family.
