Free workshop on long-term care planning

According to the federal government, a majority of people over age 64 will need some type of long-term care, with a significant number of people needing care in a nursing home.

In an effort to inform and educate the public about this important topic, Peachtree City Library is hosting a free 90-minute workshop called “Planning for Long-Term Care” Thursday, Oct. 20, at 6:30 p.m.

In this workshop participants will learn: what long-term care is and where it’s provided; strategies to pay for long-term care; key features and government incentives for long-term care insurance; and how Medicare and Medicaid factor into long-term care planning.

“Planning for Long-Term Care” will be the last workshop offered in 2016 that is part of the library’s Financial Literacy Initiative.  

Those wishing to register are encouraged to do so online at http://careplanptc.eventbrite.com. They can also register by phone by calling Peachtree City Library at 770-631-2520 and asking for the Reference Desk.
