Play
 
SEGMENT 1: Many people don't realize that health insurance, Medicare and disability coverage do not pay for most long-term care services. Although you might not need long-term care now, approximately 70 percent of people age 65 and older will require some services, and the likelihood of needing care increases as we age. Planning ahead can ensure consumers have a range of options and more choice in the care they receive, with less impact on their bank accounts. Teri Alexander, a certified Financial Planner, has more than 20 years experience helping people plan for their own future.

SEGMENT 2: Melissa Rumer, a social worker with the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging, and Bev Hockman share their story on how and why Bev turned to the area agency on aging when she needed help for her father.

SEGMENT 3: For more then twenty years Carol Baker has been a fitness instructor at Bally Total Fitness. She has students of all ages, 30s - 80s, most of them younger than she. At age 84, Carol shows little signs of slowing down. Finer With Age producer, Sarah Duffy Arens met with Carol at Bally Total Fitness in Broadview Heights, Ohio for an interview and a stretching routine.
