Lance D. Like recently returned from Dallas, Texas where he attended a 3-day Medicaid Immerision course hosted by ElderCounsel.  This course covered a detailed analysis of the Medicaid laws and the latest techniques available to planners to help their clients plan for, and pay for, long-term care.  The participants learned the legal and approved planning opportunities to help married couples protect their home and hard earned assets while still getting the care for their spouse that they deserve.  Through the use of special asset protection trust and other techniques the participants learned how clients can maintain protection over their assets and protect them against the high cost of long-term care.

Lance D. Like recently attended a 2-day course on VA Aid & Attendance benefits and planning.  This course covered the VA aid and attendance rules that could provide additional income to a war-time veteran, or the widow of a war-time veteran, that could be used to help pay for health care.  This care could be home care, care within an assisted living facility, or care in a nursing home setting.  This is a little known benefit available through the Veteran's Administration that could provide much needed income for those who have served our country during a time of war.
