Getting Medicaid to Pay Without Going Broke First

  1. Getting Medicaid to Pay Without Going Broke First Alzheimer's Caregivers 49:00

Long-term care is expensive. This episode tells you how to get Medicaid to pay without going broke first.

Sickness. Incapacity. Death. These are among the most challenging subjects to contemplate, yet some of the most universal. Most of us don’t think about financial planning for long-term care needs, which is surprising, because going broke is also a big concern as we age.

Money worries people. The news is riddled with talking heads discussing the stock market and Economy. But, statistically speaking, the most likely threat to your savings is not a recession but the much more likely need for long-term care services due to sickness and incapacity that comes from old age.

It’s no surprise that our Health care system offers very little in terms of long-term care. For what we pay in premiums, you’d think some long-term care would be covered. What is available is, in general, extremely expensive. It seems that unless you are poor or very well off, your options for long-term care are few and far between.

This kind of planning is where an expert can help us. A Medicaid planning lawyer puts together strategies to help clients pay the exorbitant costs associated with long-term care and protect their assets. Hence, they have something to pass onto their heirs.

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about caregiving while completing other tasks.

Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self-care and how to age well.
