Long-term care costs can consume a lifetime of savings in months.
Navigating long-term care options without a strategic plan can quickly consume a lifetime of hard-earned assets. With skilled nursing care costs routinely exceeding thousands of dollars each month, relying on out-of-pocket payments or assuming Medicare will step in can jeopardize your family's financial security.
Join us for an educational seminar to demystify Medicaid planning in Georgia. Discover how structured legal tools allow you to qualify for essential long-term care benefits while lawfully protecting your home, assets, and legacy.
What You'll Learn
In this 75-minute workshop, we will cover Georgia’s legal framework for long-term care planning and essential strategies every family needs:
Medicare vs. Medicaid: Understand critical distinctions between short-term rehabilitation benefits and long-term care coverage under Georgia’s Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD) Medicaid Program.
Income & Resource Standards: Learn how Georgia DFCS evaluates eligibility thresholds, countable assets, and exempt property for Nursing Home Medicaid.
The 5-Year Look-Back & Estate Recovery: Examine strict look-back rules, penalty calculations for asset transfers, and strategies to protect your family home from state estate recovery claims.
Proactive Legal Planning: Discover how working with an elder law attorney helps navigate Qualified Income Trusts (Miller Trusts) and lawful asset-protection strategies before a care crisis hits.
Why Attend?
At the Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, our mission is to ensure individuals do not lose everything they spent a lifetime accumulating, their dignity, or their independence when health challenges arise. Navigating government benefit programs requires technical precision, and failing to plan early often leads to unexpected disqualifications, spend-down traps, or severe transfer penalties.
Equip yourself with clear legal guidance to secure quality long-term care without sacrificing your family's financial future.
