A free seminar for retirees and near-retirees

A haboob is coming.
Will your retirement be ready?

In Arizona, you can see the storm rolling in from miles away. The crises of aging give the same warning — if you know what to look for. Spend 90 minutes with us and leave with a plan.

Thursday, September 24  •  10:00 AM  •  Tempe Public Library

You feel fine today. That's exactly why this matters.


Most families don't plan for the cost and logistics of aging — they react to them, usually in a hospital hallway, at crisis prices. In the Valley, quality care can run $4,000 to $9,000 a month, and the most common assumption — "Medicare will pay for it" — is wrong.

This seminar is for people who are healthy and independent right now, and want to stay in charge: of their home, their money, and their decisions. Planning while you're well isn't pessimism. It's how you keep control.

What you'll learn


Aging in place, safely

  • The warning signs families miss — the "storm clouds" that come before a crisis
  • The five areas of concern that decide whether staying home works
  • How safety and independence are actually measured, not guessed
  • What caregiver burden really costs a family — and how to reduce it

The Financial Stress Test

  • What care really costs in the Valley — and what Medicare won't cover
  • The legal documents every household needs before a crisis
  • Six ways families pay for care, including ALTCS and VA benefits
  • Your own 25-question score — take it with us, right in the room
