WHY EVERY SENIOR NEEDS A LONG -TERM HEALTH CARE PLAN

Thursday, April 13, 10 a.m.

Tom Hegan, the author of "Don't Worry, Retire Happy!" says, “You must have a plan for Long-Term Care." It is one of the greatest risks seniors face during their retirement years.

He will share his first-hand experience of the financial and health risks of not having a plan. He will also discuss the many options currently available for access to the extended care you desire and at prices you can afford.

Do not limit your options by not having a plan. No one believes they will need Long-Term Care (LTC) in the future but 52 percent of people over 65 will need some type of LTC services in their lifetime. The risk for women is even higher at 58 percent. The current cost for LTC in Las Vegas is between $3,800 to $11,165 a month. It you fail to plan; you plan to fail.

Join Dr Frank Lee, an ophthalmologist with Nevada Eye Physicians, on April 17 and learn about the symptoms and treatments for Cataracts, one of the leading causes of visual decline in people above the age 50.

Human eyes have a natural lens inside the eye that helps focus and see things. Due to the natural aging process, the natural lens can become cloudy and interfere with vision.

If you have difficulty with activities, such as night driving, watching TV, reading, computer work etc., you should have your eyes checked.

Cataract surgery is the best cure for this condition. It is one of the most simple and successful procedures performed in medicine today. After surgery, patients usually return to regular activities within 24-48 hours.
