Protect Your Assets from the High Cost of Long Term Care - Class #W17318
Did you know that 50% of people 65 years or older will spend some time in a nursing
home and that it costs $8,000 a month for such care? Because neither health insurance nor Medicare covers these costs, losing one’s life savings to such costs is a natural fear. This course discusses ways to avoid the nursing home; in-home care options, payment options, long term care insurance, life insurance conversions and hybrids, Veterans and Medicaid benefits, special needs trusts and more. Learn how to avoid the Medicaid “Estate Recovery” law which seeks repayment from a person’s estate for benefits paid. Course taught by elder care law attorney, Christopher Lindsay.
