The Palatine, Illinois-based nonprofit Elderwerks welcome caregivers and their families to come in person or virtually to its upcoming Aging Better Expo on Wednesday, Aug. 9.

“The Elderwerks Aging Better Expo attracts over 400 in-person visitors and thousands of virtual visitors to our site to watch the educational seminars provided by our expert partners. Attendees are excited to learn about local services, attend live educational programs, and plan for future needs.”

PALATINE, Ill. (PRWEB)

Elderwerks President Jennifer Prell believes there is no age limit on learning or having fun.

Prell and her team are putting the final touches to Elderwerks 9th Annual Aging Better Senior Expo scheduled from 8:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9 at Stonegate Banquet & Conference Center, 2401 W. Higgins Road in Hoffman Estates.

Every year, the staff warmly welcomes the public to this free in-person and virtual event and invites them to interact with experts and 100 local resources to discover tips on aging topics and information about local home service agencies, senior communities, businesses, and benefits.

“The Elderwerks Aging Better Expo attracts over 400 in-person visitors and thousands of virtual visitors to our site to watch the educational seminars provided by our expert partners,” Prell said. “Attendees are excited to learn about local services, attend live educational programs, and plan for future needs.”

Visitors will attend in-person and virtual presentations about Medicare, social security benefits, estate planning, care plans for caregivers, and an annual legal checklist for aging well. This year, there is a focus on health and the presentations include exercise classes concentrating on strength, endurance, and flexibility and beginning chair yoga, brain health, and nutritional insecurity and how it relates to chronic diseases.

“As we grow older, exercise—physical or mental—as well as being conscious about our diets becomes more important to help us stay healthy,” Prell said. “Physical exercise doesn’t have to be complicated or strenuous or time-consuming for older adults to incorporate into their daily schedules, and our experts show them how it can be done. With mental health, we realize that our brains age over time, and we need to research ways to keep them active. One of our presentations demonstrates how we can recognize cognitive impairment, understand brain plasticity, and incorporate simple mental exercises to keep sharp.”

Prell said the 2022 event brought positive feedback and hopes to continue receiving good responses as visitors check out the 2023 Expo.

“We heard comments such as how the event was well organized and how some enjoyed learning about the information provided by our presentations,” she said. “We feel that we are providing an essential service with the Expo, and it really shows from previous feedback.”

“One of Mercury’s main priorities is providing policyholders with more ways to save money in the midst of the current trying times,” said Jie Yan, Mercury Insurance Director of Product Management.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
June 30, 2023

Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) today announces five new coverages and five new discounts available for homeowners and renters in Nevada. Mercury’s new coverages provide additional insurance protections with an option for environmentally-friendly replacement products. Discounts are available for homeowners already taking eco-friendly measures and will put hard-earned money back in the pockets of policyholders.

“One of Mercury’s main priorities is providing policyholders with more ways to save money in the midst of the current trying times,” said Jie Yan, Mercury Insurance Director of Product Management. “It’s important that we offer customers extra savings at a great value, something Mercury has done since we first opened for business. Our additional coverages and savings are proof of the continued determination we have to provide our policyholders with above and beyond services.”

New coverages include:

• Green Home: Mercury will cover up to an additional 10% of the replacement costs for environmentally-friendly alternatives or construction methods with a covered loss. For example, if a homeowner with this additional coverage has damaged carpeting and selects an eco-friendly replacement, Mercury would issue funds up to 10% more than the costs to replace the carpeting so the homeowner can go with the green flooring option. The protection also extends to other types of property, such as an HVAC or appliances, when replaced with an eco-friendly product. “Each day we issue more than a million dollars to put policyholder’s lives back together and, at the same time, we see materials that will take a long-time to break down go off to landfills. Mercury is going to continue to help policyholders and, if we get the chance to, the environment as well,” Yan said.    
• Matching of Undamaged Siding and Roofing: Many times, roofing or siding repair is limited to a damaged area of the home, and with time the older existing and non-damaged material will fade or the roofing or siding is no longer available. In the past, homeowners could end up with roofing or siding that does not match. Today, Mercury is providing two additional coverages—siding or roofing—that allow the undamaged portions to be replaced as well when there is a mismatch.
• Refrigerated Products: During the pandemic, many homeowners spent hundreds of dollars stocking their refrigerators from top to bottom. Mercury’s new protection covers up to $1,000 of food items if there’s a loss of power or a mechanical failure of a refrigerator resulting in spoiled food.
• Limited Hidden Water, Steam Seepage or Leakage: Water claims are one of the most common claims that can lead to costly repairs along with many inconveniences for homeowners. In some instances, a water leak may be hidden from the homeowner within a wall or ceiling and go on for weeks or months and only be found when a wall is opened up. To better protect homeowners from water damages that are hidden, Mercury is offering coverage that would apply to the resulting damages in these instances.

New discounts include:

• Green Home: Mercury is offering up to 5% discount for all perils if the home has a Green certification by the U.S. Green Building Council LEED rating system or meets the requirements of the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Guidelines (NAHB).
• Updated Home: Mature homes, more than 20 years old, with permitted renovations, such as HVAC replacement, re-roofing, remodeling, or a new addition, during the last 10 years are eligible for up to a 10% discount on the wind and water perils.
• Good Payer: Homeowner policyholders who’ve paid on time for the past 36 months are eligible for the Good Payer Discount, which saves 2% on the policy. Both new business and existing policyholders are eligible for the discount.
• Paid in Full: Mercury is offering a discount of up to 10% in savings on premium for renters insurance policyholders.
• Digital: This is a new discount of up to 2% in premium savings for policyholders who sign up for the customer portal, paperless billing and paperless document directory.

Mercury offers insurance for Personal Auto, Mechanical Protection, Ride-Hailing, Condo, Homeowners, Home Cyber Protection, Home Systems Protection, Identity Management Services, Renters, Service Line Protection, Business Auto and Personal Umbrella in Nevada.
