There is a longevity revolution going on due to changes in life expectancy because of medical advances. The term “middle-essence”, refers to the one-third of our lives that now occurs in our later years. Planning is crucial. The speaker listed the following criteria, which if followed would reduce the risks of problems of aging

step one: gaining awareness and understanding – education is the key
step two: organizing documents and information
step three: becoming informed as to our governments’ programs and their benefits
step four: gaining an awareness of the ‘real costs’ of care and an understanding of how these care needs are going to be paid for when the time comes
step five: talking with your family members
step six: asking questions – always

The need for care-years planning in today’s Canada
It’s time to plan for our care-years with our eyes wide open!
An edu-taining presentation for anyone 50+ and over- ALL welcome

Our speaker is Patty Randall described as “one of the pre-eminent experts, writers, speakers and media commentators on the topic of care in Canada” and is widely considered a leading advocate on the need for care-years planning in our country.

Growing older yesterday versus growing older today… 
a new mindset has taken hold

Everything about ‘growing older’ has changed… we are now living the longest lives in our history. Growing older today means doing something relevant ‘in our lives’…not necessarily ‘to our age’. People whose actual chronological age today would categorize them in the stereotypical ‘old category’ don’t see themselves that way…they say that they feel 10 to15 and even 20 years younger than their actual age. Vibrancy and adventure are now the norm.

Thanks to health and longevity Canadians are pioneering a change in what becoming a senior and growing older really mean, stereotypical thinking no longer applies – a clearer picture is rapidly emerging. 
Aging successfully in our country today requires that we age with passion, purpose “and” care-years planning for our future… with our eyes wide open!

This powerful, edu-taining seminar focuses on recent trends, changes taking place, costs of care, government programs, family responsibilities, the importance of planning, what goes into a good care-years plan as part of your financial plan and much more…it will also make available materials for your personal use.
