Plan now or pay later. J. Michael Hickox of Huron Valley Law Center will teach you the basics about long term care planning, Medicare discharge planning, and Medicaid planning. Many adult children find themselves taking over the care of their parents – financially and physically. Just figuring out where to start can be difficult. Add in the complications of how Medicare works, what Medicaid covers and how to apply for it, and arranging for long term care and you quickly have a situation that can be overwhelming. This workshop will provide an overview of the issues as well as helpful information on what pitfalls to avoid and how to plan now to avoid costly errors in the future. In the constantly changing world of long term care planning, the most costly mistake can be not staying informed.
