Shari Crook, Reverse Mortgage Specialist, with
New Castle Mortgage, and John Merrell, Owner,
Amada Senior Health Care, spoke to the Rotary
Club of North Jackson about "aging in place" at
the club's August 23, 2016 meeting. Both people
spoke about the need to plan for financial needs
during your retirement. Ms. Crook discussed the
value of reverse mortgages in using the equity
in a people's homes  to supplement retirement
income and Mr. Merrell discussed the value of
Long Term Care Insurance to assist elderly
people when they need nursing care or are plac-
ed in assisted living facilities. The speakers are
shown in the accompanying photo with Rotarian
Bill Osborne (Center). We thank Ms. Crook and
Mr. Merrell for their very interesting and inform-
ative presentation.
