Esther Koch Unveils Aging and Elder Care Tips at S.F. Commonwealth Club November 6th

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Elder Care Advisor Esther Koch offers assistance in navigating through the basics of the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicare Prescription Drug programs as she presents: "What You Need to Know Before You're 65: For Your Parents and You" at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on November 6th.

For many baby boomers, the time for qualifying for the primary government programs targeted to seniors is just around the corner and their parents are already beneficiaries. But for most, a true understanding of these benefits remains shrouded in confusion. Learn the basics of these programs and the realities of what you can expect and, more importantly, what not to expect. Come hear what every boomer needs to know and plan for - for their parents and themselves.

Ms. Koch has written and been interviewed for elder care articles covering a wide range of topics including: Medicare Rx (http://www.encoremgmt.com/medicarerx/whatyouneedtoknow.html); Holiday Moments Of Joy (http://www.encoremgmt.com/momentsofjoy/holidaymomentsofjoy.html); Kiss The Joy As It Flies By; What to Plan for As Your Parent Ages; Discussing Finances With Aging Parents; and Geriatric Care Managers - The Solution for Long-Distance Elder Caregivers.
