SINCE YOU CARE September - October 2010

A Guide About Aging-related Legal Matters

Caregivers face many challenges as they search for information and make decisions about how best to provide care to their loved ones.

The MetLife Mature Market Institute in cooperation with the National Alliance For Caregiving has published a guide titled "Legal Matters", which offers general information about aging-related legal issues, health-care planning, and financial decisions. It covers topics such as trusts, wills, power-of-attorney, and others.

To obtain a copy of the booklet download one at www.MatureMarketInstitute.com or call 203-221-6580.

DISCOVERING "WHO CARES" July - August 2010

With so many sources of health information available to you - many of them online - it can be tough to tell fact from fiction, or useful health products and services from those that don't work or aren't safe.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has published a booklet to help you find reliable sources of information on health topics important to you. You can find links to agencies and organizations that "care" about topics like generic drugs, caregiving, surgery to improve vision, hearing aids and others.

To obtain a copy of the FTC booklet: "WHO CARES - Sources of Information About Health Care Products and Services", go to www.ftc.gov/whocares or call 877-382-4357.
