Orland Fire’s popular Coffee & Conversation resumes with virtual online meetings

The event is co-hosted by Aishling Companion Home Care and participation does require downloading an App to permit your access and reaching out to OFPD organizer Betsy Dine

Please join the Orland Fire Protection District for the resumption of their monthly and popular Coffee & Conversation series in which experts in senior issues discuss everything from home care, wills and health.

Ms. Sterk will navigate through unique concerns of seniors who are re-married.  Dealing with children of the other spouse, clarifying where money will go in the event of death, determining who will provide care and have decision making authority in the event of illness or disability, and planning for retirement are all issues that must be discussed and determined.   Blindly ignoring these issues can have grave consequences.  This program will empower you to consider how to deal with and avoid complications that may arise by providing tools to utilize and food for thought.
