Most of us grew up going to school and enjoying the camaraderie and fun of learning with peers. Most of us have joined groups as adults: work and worship groups, clubs, organizations. Most of us know about senior centers like the Lexington/Fayette County Senior Center on Life Lane. There is a positive synergy and increased opportunity when like minded people of a certain age group come together. I encourage everyone over the age of 60 everywhere to join their local senior center. Senior Centers do not help people with medical and personal care needs, however.
Aging With Grace +50, The Health Club for Seniors, guarantees to help members with their personal care needs and their medical needs.
Most people understand the value of insurance. People buy insurance for their cars, homes, health, life, etc. Some people buy insurance for their personal care needs in their later years (long term care insurance). Yes, the statistics show that about 69% of all people in the U.S. will need some help before they die. Let’s face it, there is a good chance you will have a period of disability before you die. You will need help with your medical and personal care needs.
Joining Aging With Grace +50, The Health Club for Seniors, is like insurance for your disability as you get older. You are assured of having a team of knowledgeable health professionals who know you and your health history here for you when you need us. Think of long term care insurance as the gas. Aging With Grace +50, The Health Club for Seniors, is the vehicle.
