If you're trying to figure out how to get care for a loved one without losing everything, this workshop is for you.
Most families are forced to make long-term care decisions under pressure — often without fully understanding how the system actually works.
And when that happens, mistakes get made. Costly ones.
In this workshop, we’ll help you step back and see the full picture — so you can make informed decisions instead of rushed ones.
What You’ll Learn
Care & Placement: How to determine the right level of care — at home, assisted living, or nursing home — and how to avoid common placement mistakes.
Cost & Payment: What Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA actually cover — and what they don’t. How families end up paying unnecessarily (and how to avoid it).
Compliance & Protection: How to navigate the rules correctly, avoid penalties, and protect both the patient and the spouse.
We’ll Answer Questions Like:
• What does Medicare actually pay for?
• How does the Medicaid process work?
• Can we protect the house or other assets?
• Is Medicaid an option for assisted living?
• Is the 5-year lookback really enforced?
• What’s different between Illinois and Iowa?
• Can the VA help?
• What protections exist for the spouse at home?
Why This Matters
Most families don’t realize how these systems work until they’re already in a crisis.
By then, options are limited — and mistakes are hard (or impossible) to undo.
This workshop is designed to help you understand your options before you’re forced into decisions.
