Alzheimer’s program on financial planning

LEWISTON — The Alzheimer’s Association, Maine Chapter will present the free workshop, “Legal and Financial Planning,” from 10 a.m. to noon Monday, March 17, at SeniorsPlus on Falcon Road.

The legal and financial planning education program will provide information for families and individuals dealing with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease makes planning for the future more important than ever. Concerns about care provision and programs that can help offset costs mean that families need accurate information about legal and financial planning specific to the disease.

This interactive two-part program will give attendees a chance to learn about important legal and financial issues to consider, how to put plans in place, and how to access legal and financial resources.

This program is free, however advanced registration is required. Contact bkirkpatrick@alz.org or call 207-772-0115 or 800-272-3900 for more information or to register.
