Aug. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Nationally recognized wealth advisor Jerry Roth, MBA, CFP, FIC, will present a comprehensive review of current economic factors and the implications for seniors, hosted by the Village at Gleannloch Farms from 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30, 2011.

“Jerry Roth is a highly respected expert in the field of financial planning, based on a very clear understanding of what the economy is really doing today--and most likely to do in the future” said Kathy Johanns, executive director of The Village at Gleannloch Farms. “We are pleased to offer his fascinating presentation to our residents as part of our ongoing Speaker Series and also for the public at large. We know that local seniors and their adult children are very interested in finding answers to complex questions.”

Roth is with Thrivent Financial, a Fortune 500 Company, which serves Lutherans and their family members in Houston and surrounding communities. Located in the Texas Regional Financial Office, he provides financial guidance and solutions to help clients achieve their financial goals.

Roth has been with Thrivent for 18 years, and he was recently recognized by his peers from across the country for superior performance at the company’s national conference in April.  He has also qualified for Pinnacle Council for 2010, which is the organization’s highest recognition level for sales and service. Of Thrivent Financial’s approximately 2,400 financial representatives, only 128 qualified for this honor.

Sponsored and owned by Lutheran Social Services of the South, Inc., The Village at Gleannloch Farms is a not-for-profit community offering 123 independent living apartments and cottages for active adults aged 62 and above. In addition, the community offers a continuum of care including 30 assisted living apartments, 18 memory support residences, and 35 private skilled nursing suites.

Traditionally, some older master-planned developments have offered housing options such as patio homes or assisted living facilities to extend their multi-generational appeal. However, the latest trend is to take the concept a step further and include a community that offers a full continuum of care – an option that, until now, was non-existent in Houston.

Located at Champion Forest Drive and Northpointe Boulevard, the community is situated on 25 acres and is designed to resemble the property’s original architecture. Architect of the project, three architecture of Dallas, incorporated native Gleannloch Farms stone and wood overhangs, balconies, trellises and fences to promote a “countryside residence” exterior. The community’s interior, designed by Faulkner Design Group of Dallas, features arts-and-crafts period influences using wood paneling, stained glass and wood-beamed ceilings.

The community adds to the already extensive variety of residential housing options available in Gleannloch Farms. Other Gleannloch Farms amenities include a lakeside aquatic and athletic complex, equestrian center, championship golf course, hiking and biking trails, and highly acclaimed schools.

In addition to a full range of health care options, The Village at Gleannloch Farms offers a variety of resort-style amenities including landscaped courtyards, multiple dining venues, and common areas totaling over 148,000 square-feet. The common area spaces include a 100-seat chapel, library and business center, creative arts studio, full-service beauty salon and barbershop, heated outdoor saltwater pool and fitness center.
