Elder Law Podcast Show #6 Long Term Care Planning - Are You Prepared?

Elder Law Today Podcast

In the sixth installment of his podcast, Elder Law Today, Yale Hauptman invites guests Heidi Rinsky Schnapp and Lisa Cook Bayer of Life Management Resources, an elder care consulting firm and Gregory W. Bushwell, of B & M Brokerage Services, a long term care insurance specialist to a roundtable discussion on long term care.

The panel first discusses preplanning options and Greg shares his advice on long term care insurance products and services. Learn why there is no such thing as one size fits all when considering the amount of insurance coverage for long term care, what pitfalls to avoid when purchasing long term care insurance, what additional services besides nursing home care are covered and the difference between disability insurance and long term care insurance.

If you or your loved one is already in the midst of a long term care crisis, then you’ll want to hear Heidi and Lisa discuss with Yale the types of services their elder care consulting firm provides. You’ll learn how elder care mediation can help families stay out of a public and expensive legal battle. Heidi explains what geriatric care managers do and how they can help families separated by long distances. Lisa shares with the audience what daily money management services are and how essential they can be for the elderly.

Yale then takes listener emailed and live call in questions as he and his guests discuss the goal that each of us wants to accomplish when we face the aging process, that is, to age in place and remain in our homes as long as possible.
