National Long Term Care Consciousness Tour Visits Berkshires

- July 24, 2008

PITTSFIELD — True North will host two informational meetings for the 2008 National Long Term Care Consciousness Tour on Friday, August 8 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The year-long tour is cross-country grassroots effort to raise awareness of the need for a rational and financially viable long-term care financing system for the aging baby boom generation.
 
The tour is run by the Center for Long-Term Care Reform, Inc., of Seattle, WA. To reach Berkshire professionals concerned with long term care issues, organization president Stephen Moses will address local human resource executives and business owners from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. and CPAs, attorneys and health care professionals from noon to 1:30 p.m. Kathy O’Brien of the MetLife Mature Market Institute will also address the morning group.

Moses inaugurated the tour to highlight the fact that public programs—which dominate long term care funding today—have no money set aside for the future long-term care claims of the boomer generation. Among the issues he will discuss are what will happen to the government’s long-term care financing programs; the reasons why so few people save, invest and insure for such expenses; and ways that advisors and other professionals can help seniors protect themselves from the financial risks of requiring long term care.

The meetings will include an 8:15 a.m. continental breakfast at the morning session and an 11:45 a.m. buffet lunch at the noon session. Meetings are free for area professionals, but registration is required by August 1. Contact Jodi Hollingsworth at 413-442-7296 or at jhollingsworth@truenorthfs.com to register.
