Local Physicians Support "3 in 4 Need More" Long Term Care Awareness Campaign
America is on the verge of a Long Term Care epidemic and less than 10% of them are prepared.
IRVINE, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- America is on the verge of a Long Term Care epidemic and less than 10% of them are prepared. To bring national attention to this issue, Dr. Marion Somers, a leading authority on geriatric care, kicked off a two month coast to coast awareness tour to promote the resources available on www.3in4needmore.com. The nonprofit 3 in 4 need more foundation was created to educate the public on the growing issue of Long Term Care. The foundation derives its name from the U.S Dept of Health and Human Services statistic that 70% ("nearly 3 in 4") of Americans ages 65+ will need Long Term Care services at some point in their lives.
Tony Prince, President of Physicians Choice Insurance Service, an Orange County based insurance agency specializing in healthcare and long term care insurance says, "Credible information and viable affordable choices are what Orange County residents seek on the topic of long term care."
Several prominent Orange County Physicians have volunteered to provide this information in public seminars being held now in many Orange County cities. To find a seminar near you go to www.3in4.pciyes.com.
While these Orange County Physicians increase local awareness on the types of long term care services available, like "in home care" and "assisted living", Dr. Marion Somers will be joined with a documentary film crew to capture a glimpse of the real life struggles that nearly 44 million baby boomers face every day when they are simultaneously caring for a parent and a child at the same time. A growing group of Americans known as the "sandwich generation." To see a sample of the positive change Dr. Marion Somers can make with her intervention and resources, go to www.3in4.pciyes.com.
