Leonardtown, MD – The St. Mary’s County Department of Aging & Human Services will host a free seminar for the community entitled “Securing Your Future…A Legal & Financial Seminar” on Friday, September 18. Featured speakers specialize in Social Security, Long-Term Care Medicaid, Medicare (Part D), Bankruptcy, Probate and Estate Planning. The seminar is being held in response to frequent requests from residents for more information about these key topics.
“The complexity of each of these programs may become overwhelming for older adults and their families,” said Debbie Barker, Senior Information & Assistance Manager. “The panel will bring together experts in the legal and financial fields who can provide information and guidance to individuals currently experiencing – or on the cusp of experiencing – issues which pertain to these topics.”
The Senior Information & Assistance Division of the Department of Aging & Human Services provides seniors and their families with guidance and referrals to the Department’s programs, public and private community resources and information regarding assistance programs. Service coordination is available to seniors who require assistance in accessing services, applying for various assistance programs, or who simply need help or information about a variety of issues.
Aging and Human Services’ mission is to meet the educational, physical, health and social needs of county residents with disabilities and ages 50 and older.
The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at the Forrest Career and Technology Center, 24005 Point Lookout Road, Leonardtown, MD 20650. The Department will provide a continental breakfast and boxed lunch at no charge. To reserve your space, call Debbie Barker at 301-475-4200, ext. 1050.
