Long-term Care Resource Fair set for family caregivers

The Chinese Information and Service Center is holding a Long-term Care Resource Fair from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday June 27 at the Crossroads Community Center.

The purpose of the fair is to provide family caregivers a better understanding on what long-term care is, information on what to look for in a long-term care plan, what kind of long-term care insurance plans may match their needs, a chance to talk to long-term care insurance professionals, and a chance to talk to different long-term care providers.

Insurance companies that provide long-term care plans and long-term care providers (such as nursing home and adult family home) will be at the Fair. In addition to information booths, a number of workshops will be held:
