Lewiston, Idaho-- A siminar on lon-term care, co-sponsored by an AARP-Idaho and University of Idaho Extension partnership that is unique in the nation, will be held again this spring at six Idaho locations. Offered statewide since 2003, the free seminar on "Planning for Independence and Long-term Care" is slated for May 3rd in Grangeville.
"People in their fifties, sixties, and seventies need to be thinking about their long-term care options," said Kathee Tifft, University of Idaho Extension educator. She noted that the seminar covers not only long-term care insurnace but community resources that are available for Idahoans who want -- or need -- to stay in their own homes.
"Participants learn how to plan for long-term care for themselves and their elderly parents, as well as how to manage its risks and protect their financial security despite its high costs," Tifft said. Of the nearly 2,500 Idahoans who attended the seminar in the past, 91 percent indicated that it would help them make decisions about long-term care.
In addition to University of Idaho Extension and AARP-Idaho, speakers will include representatives of the Area II Agency on Aging, Idaho Department of Insurance, and Legal Aid of Idaho.
The seminar will run from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. All who attend are invited to stay an extra hour for individual counseling with a Senior Health Insurance Benefits Advisor (SHIBA), who will help them evaluate their current policies or compare sales information of new ones.
For more information or to pre-register, contact the Nez Perce County Extension office at 28-799-3096.
The seminar received the 2007 Florence Hall award from the National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences for innovative programming that meets a community need. It will be repeated on September 27th in Moscow and on October 11th in Lewiston. |
