Residences at Vantage Point Hosts Series on Planning for the Future

Residences at Vantage Point is hosting a new Compass Seminar Series, including three informative sessions designed to help people plan for the future during retirement.

Joy Loverde, author of “Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old” and the bestselling “The Complete Eldercare Planner,” is the headliner on Thursday, Sept. 12. Loverde will lead two sessions. At 10:30 a.m., she will speak with older adults about “solo aging” and what is important to plan in advance. That evening at 6:30 p.m., she will talk with adult children and caregivers about “Helping Your Parents Even When They Refuse Help.”

Loverde’s evening session will include separate entertainment for older adults while their children and other caregivers are discussing eldercare.

With over 30 years experience as a media spokesperson, Loverde’s appearances include the TODAY Show, Good Morning America, CBS Early Show, ABC News, Fox News, National Public Radio, SiriusXM, and others.

All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of one of Loverde’s books.
