Future workshops taking place at the same location are scheduled as follows:
- May 8: Maximizing your public benefits: Ways to save on healthcare and food costs
- July 10: If it’s too good to be true: Avoiding scams
- August 18: What is the long term care system? Putting the puzzle together

“It is important for individuals and family caregivers to get accurate information when developing an estate and long term care plan” says Tatiana Fassieux, HICAP Program Manager. “Equally important is to revisit the plan every 5 years, because laws change as well as family circumstances”, adds Fassieux. Too often people attend workshops presented by insurance agents or out-of-town financial planners who may not have up-to-date information, and may have questionable intentions.
