A significant member of our population are baby boomers and are in roles of caregiving to their elder parents or relative. We are often called the ‘Sandwich Generation’ juggling our lives with work, raising a family and caring for our aging loved ones. By 2030, one out of five Washingtonians will be age 65 plus. Are you prepared to make this shift? Or are you already there and still wondering how you will be cared for in your 90’s? Find out how you can take an active role in planning for a comfortable and secure safety net for yourself and your loved ones.
The National Care Act will be covered. AARP Washington’s Ms. MacCaul will share the 2016 State Legislative Session Priorities, which will affect one out of five Washingtonians as we approach retirement age.
This seminar will be presented by our very own Major General Antonio ‘Tony’ Taguba (Retired). As an AARP Ambassador, Tony will address issues and adversities facing cultural perspectives on caregiving. Caregiving has taken national attention since 2014 due to high cost of health care, employment/unemployment, family crisis, and nonstandard program in caring for disabled loved ones. AARP is the nation’s leading advocate on caregiving; and insurance and caregiving industry has taken advantage of exploiting this issue.
General Taguba is Chair of the National FilVets Recognition and Education Project. He will also cover an update to the Congressional Gold Medal and Recognition Project, which benefits thousands of Filipino WWII Veterans and their families. As an added bonus, Brigadier General Oscar Hilman will also be present to answer any questions from families needing help with filing VA authentication documents so they can qualify for their Veterans’ Congressional Gold Medal Recognition
