Madison, Mississippi, October 17, 2017 (Newswire.com) - On Tuesday, October 24th, St. Catherine’s Village is hosting a free educational seminar highlighting tips and strategies for managing year-end taxes.
The seminar takes place in the Commons Activity Room at 200 Dominican Drive on the continuing care retirement community (CCRC) campus in Madison, Mississippi. The hour-long event will begin at 10:30 a.m. and is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

“One of the living options at St. Catherine’s Village is all-inclusive life care, which guarantees residents services throughout their retirement years at a predetermined rate,” said Judy. “While a CCRC requires an up-front investment, over the long term it can provide an outstanding value for seniors. Understanding the tax implications can help someone determine if this is the right choice for them.”
