Hispanic Caregivers Often Young and Unprepared

MassMutual Center for Special Needs at The American College provides tailored resources for financial professionals working with special needs families & caregivers

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To meet the unique financial demands of special needs families and caregivers, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) has partnered with the American College to found the MassMutual Center for Special Needs in Bryn Mawr, Pa. The $2.5 million investment by MassMutual establishes the first academic center of its kind, serving as a national leader in preparing financial services professionals to help advocate for and secure the future of individuals with special needs and their families.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150715/237445LOGO

Among the Hispanic population alone, over one-third of households report having at least one caretaker, according to 2008 research from Caregiving.org, and 84 percent of Hispanics who are providing care believe their role is an expectation within their upbringing.

The Easter Seals Many faces of Caregiving Study sponsored by MassMutual and conducted by Impulse Research Corp. shows the state of caregiving in the United States is changing. Today’s caretakers are young, and 90 percent are unpaid, according to those surveyed. Seventy-six percent have concerns about becoming a caregiver, including financial impact and increased anxiety. They are not trained professionals; many live in multigenerational households. Over three-quarters provide care to a parent, child, spouse or grandparent.

“MassMutual is committed to providing caregivers essential resources to become confident in their financial futures,” said Joanne Gruszkos, director of MassMutual’s SpecialCare^SM program. “Caregivers are responsible not only for their own future, but also for their dependent’s financial future.”

For the past ten years, MassMutual’s SpecialCare^SM Program has helped families develop life-care plans* for their loved ones with special needs. MassMutual’s SpecialCare Planning Teams have built Community Resource Networks across the country to provide families with financial education and a network of care providers specializing in everything from educational seminars on life-care planning to horseback riding therapy. In May, MassMutual also received the Team Hoyt Award from Easter Seals for its efforts to empower individuals with disabilities.

MassMutual offers the following tips for new caregivers:

A team approach – Seek trusted advisors who have the special needs experience and are willing to guide you through the important financial decisions that affect your entire family.
A caregiver and a letter of intent – Identify the person who will care for your loved one and draft a letter of intent that will serve as a guide for that person to provide care, support and other assistance after you are gone.
Long-term expenses – Plan ahead for expenses such as housing, education, work opportunities and daily transportation when determining your loved one’s lifetime financial needs.
Availability of government benefits – Research the benefits that are provided by the federal government for families affected by special needs. You may qualify for assistance.
A will in place – Make sure you have beneficiary arrangements and a current will that align with your other planning strategies.

To learn more about MassMutual’s commitment to the special needs market and U.S. Hispanics, visit massmutual.com/specialcare and massmutual.com/latino. Contact a local financial professional** for more personalized information to create a stronger plan to address the future financial needs of you and your family.

*A Life Care Plan is a coordinated program of future care planning, financial and legal strategies for people with disabilities and their families. A Life Care Plan continually changes throughout an individual’s lifetime and is provided by a team that may include a legal and tax advisor, as well as an insurance and investment professional.

**No one professional can provide everything a family needs. An integrated team comprised of an attorney, CPA and others, such as social workers and caregivers, in addition to a financial professional who specializes in working with special needs, all working together is the best way to serve the client. We recommend working with professionals who are qualified, experienced and involved in the area of special needs.

Methodology

The Easter Seals Many faces of Caregiving Study was sponsored by MassMutual and conducted by Impulse Research Corp. The survey was conducted January 2015 online with a random sample of 1043 men and women ages 25-49. The overall sampling error rate for this survey is +/-3% at the 95% level of confidence.

Mary Kay Independent Sales Force Convenes In Dallas Bringing $30 Million Economic Impact For Annual Seminar

One of the Largest Events in North Texas Serves as an Opportunity to Give Back

DALLAS, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — It’s a familiar sound in North Texas in mid-July – thousands of clicking high heels and roaring pink Cadillacs as more than 27,000 attendees convene in Dallas during Mary Kay’s annual Seminar. The event, running July 16 through Aug. 1, is comprised of five back-to-back conferences and is one of the largest events in North Texas based on attendance, economic impact and hotel room nights.

More than 27,000 attendees convene in Dallas for Mary Kay's annual Seminar. The event, comprised of five back-to-back conferences, recognizes and rewards the successes of Mary Kay's independent sales force while delivering $30 million in economic impact to North Texas.

According to the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, Mary Kay Seminar will pump more than $30 million into the local economy and contribute to 2,200 jobs in the Dallas area this year. Mary Kay has hosted its Seminar at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas since 1974, making it the longest running annual event at the facility.

“Coming off the heels of three record-breaking years in sales growth to become a $4 billion company, Seminar is an exciting time for Mary Kay and remains one of our most important company events with both new and long-time independent sales force members,” said Laura Beitler, Mary Kay Vice President of Recognition and Events. “Women of all ages and backgrounds continue to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a Mary Kay business with more than 200,000 new Mary Kay independent businesses started in the U.S. this year.”

While the convention is traditionally known for recognizing and motivating Mary Kay’s Independent Beauty Consultants, it also serves as an opportunity for the global cosmetic giant’s independent sales force to give back to communities nationwide. From assembling care kits at the convention center for domestic violence shelters across the country to donating professional clothing for women in need, Mary Kay independent sales force members are not only bringing a hefty economic impact to North Texas through local spending but also their compassion to help others.

“At Mary Kay, we are a company with heart and our independent sales force is an extension of that philosophy which has been a driving force since Mary Kay Ash founded her company in 1963,” said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility. “During this year’s Seminar, we are proud to share our new, award-winning public service announcement series, “One in Four” as one of the most recent elements of Mary Kay’s Don’t Look Away campaign aimed at helping to prevent and end the epidemic of domestic violence. Additionally, our recent $1.25 million commitment to loveisrespect will continue to fund the nation’s only text-for-help platform for dating abuse prevention and education. Alongside our independent sales force, we continue to make a tangible impact while supporting the company’s mission of enriching women’s lives.”

The theme for Seminar, “Discover What You Love^SM,” invites Mary Kay’s independent sales force to discover what helps them feel beautiful, confident and connected while pursuing their Mary Kay business. During this year’s event, more than $5 million in recognition and prizes will be awarded including the newest addition to the Mary Kay career car fleet, a black BMW 320i and the coveted Mary Kay pink Cadillac.

Magda Castaneda, RN, BSN, CNN, HTC, owner and director of Utopia Health Career Center, hopes the new resources will encourage Spanish-speaking dialysis patients to consider at-home therapy. “In my 18 years as a dialysis nurse, seven of them in home hemodialysis, I can say that having educational materials and professional support in Spanish is huge progress for the Hispanic community in need of dialysis treatments.”

“It is exciting to know that NxStage has training materials available in Spanish. NxStage’s training materials were very easy to use and accelerated my ability to learn how to use the System One at home,” stated Walfred Lopez, a NxStage patient.

“The percentage of dialysis patients for which Spanish is the first language is as high as 30 percent in the United States,” said Joseph Turk, President of NxStage Medical. “We want to provide all patients with access to important resources to be successful with home hemodialysis. These expanded initiatives have the potential to really make an impact with both new and existing Hispanic patients.”

When combined with the NxStage PureFlow SL Dialysis Preparation System, patients are able to further simplify, using ordinary tap water to create dialysis fluid on demand. Unlike conventional hemodialysis systems, the System One requires no special infrastructure to operate.
