URBANA -- Two
programs focusing on long-term care planning and insurance will be
offered this fall by University of Illinois Extension over its
TeleNet system. "Building a Secure Future for Your Long-Term Care
Needs" will be offered from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 30, and
"Long-Term Care Insurance: A Difficult Decision" will be offered
from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 4. |

"When people consider their
plans for retirement, financing expensive long-term care services
often does not make it into their plans," said Paul McNamara, a U of
I Extension consumer economics specialist who is leading the
programs. "However, planning for the possibility of long-term care
services can ensure access to desired services, protect money, and
make managing a difficult situation more bearable for a person's
spouse or loved ones."
The fall seminars, which are
free to the public, are part of an award-winning educational program
on long-term care developed by McNamara and his colleagues on
Extension's consumer and family economics team. To participate,
people call in on a toll-free number.

"The Sept. 30 program will help
people understand the issues involved with planning for long-term
care," he explained. "The second program will help consumers learn
about their options in regard to long-term care insurance."

information about the teleconferences can be obtained by contacting
