Wednesday June 16 from  5 to 6 p.m.  at the Charlotte Hotel in Onancock there will be a presentation on making financial preparations for retirement.  You likely began saving for retirement early in your career and made sure there was a plan in place for your kids’ college expenses. You are the kind of person who prides yourself in taking charge and being in control. Now is the time to ensure that your plan is in place for senior living.

Many seniors find themselves blindsided by the need for additional care. Oftentimes the choice of a senior living community ends up being made by an adult child or family. This decision brings with it tremendous guilt and unnecessary stress.

Join us for this free presentation to learn how to prepare for senior living financially, logistically, and emotionally. We’ll give practical tips on how to organize your finances to create a budget, what steps to take, and how to choose the right fit for you before the time comes.

RSVP today by contacting Kristie at 757-710-2717 or [email protected].
