Winthrop Chamber to discuss long-term care

WINTHROP — The Winthrop Lakes Region Chamber January breakfast meeting will focus on how to plan for long-term care when Winthrop Attorney Daniel J. Eccher will speak Thursday, Jan. 9, on how to navigate the system.

Eccher, who specializes in elder law and is a partner with Levey, Wagley, Putman & Eccher, PA, said, “Many families are broadsided by a sudden need for a loved one to receive long-term care services, either in their home or in a facility. It is with advanced planning that I can help them the most.” Eccher added, “But we can even help families save assets when the elder is on the facility doorstep or already admitted.”

The breakfast will be held from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. at the Winthrop Commerce Center Community, 16 Commerce Plaza. To kick off the New Year, the breakfast will be free. Community members and business owners are invited.

For more information, contact the Chamber at 207-377-8020 or info@winthropchamber.org. If the local schools are closed due to inclement weather, the Chamber breakfast talk will be postponed.
