Recently, a man named “Bart" was forced to live with his children and then in a nursing home, he felt his dignity was lost. “This situation is all too common, says Isoken Ogbomo, Area Director of the Chicagoland Suburbs Care Planning Council and CEO of In-Home Caregivers of Illinois. Many don't realize how eldercare has evolved over the past decade and fail to plan ahead. To address this, the Chicagoland Suburbs Care Planning Council is hosting a four-part seminar in September called “Choices and Planning” at the clubhouse. This seminar will educate seniors and their families on long-term care planning, covering essential topics such as financial resources, necessary documents, and realistic options for future care. Proper planning can save heartache and ensure a dignified aging process. Join us to learn how to prepare for the future and make informed decisions about your long-term care.

ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – <a href="https://pennantplanning.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pennant Planning</a>, founded by longtime certified financial planner and trusted retirement expert Greg Kurinec, is excited to announce a series of free retirement success courses set to begin on Sept. 12 and 14 at Joliet Junior College’s Romeoville Campus. These courses, titled "<a href="https://www.sofaillinois.org/JJC" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sofaillinois.org/JJC&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1725499622156000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0_Kv1ZgJ_K1muiiHheEhJN" rel="nofollow">Retirement: More than Money</a>," aim to equip those nearing retirement with the essential knowledge and strategies needed for a confident and fulfilling transition.
“Retirement planning goes far beyond just your 401(k) balance,” said Greg Kurinec, CFP®. “Our goal is to help attendees understand the broader picture, including critical aspects like healthcare, estate planning, and creating a sustainable income strategy. This course is designed to provide a clear roadmap for those who want to live a happier, healthier, and more satisfying retirement.”
<h3 dir="ltr">Course Details</h3>
The “Retirement: More than Money” classroom series will begin on Sept. 12 and 14 at Joliet Junior College’s Romeoville Campus (1125 W Romeo Rd, Romeoville, IL 60446). Registered participants can choose between Thursday evening or Saturday morning sessions:
<ul><li dir="ltr">Thursday Nights: Sept. 12 and 19 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.</li><li dir="ltr">Saturday Mornings: Sept. 14 and 21 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.</li></ul>
This series is developed in response to the evolving needs of retirees, offering a holistic approach that addresses not only financial concerns but also key lifestyle considerations. Participants will learn about Social Security optimization, Medicare coverage, estate planning, tax strategies, and the psychological shift that comes with retirement.
“The course challenges participants to engage in critical self-assessments to gauge their readiness for retirement,” Kurinec added. “Attendees will explore important questions like ‘How much income will you need in retirement, and where will it come from?’ and learn practical strategies to ensure their financial well-being.”
<h3 dir="ltr">Additional Highlights</h3>
Every registered attendee will also have the opportunity to participate in a one-hour personal strategy session with Greg Kurinec, offering tailored guidance on specific retirement concerns.
“This strategy session allows us to address personal questions that might not have been covered during the classroom time,” said Kurinec, an Illinois native deeply passionate about supporting his local community. “Retirement planning can be complex and overwhelming, and these sessions are designed to provide personalized advice and clarity.”
