Lunch and Learn
We all plan for different journeys in our lives from childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and retirement, but many families don’t always plan or think about what to plan for when “golden years” are among them. This informational presentation gives attendees insight on how the changes in CMS have created challenges for shorter stays in the hospital, skilled nursing, as well as home health. What services are covered medically and non-medically. Costs for Non-Medical such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care. What preparations should be put in place legally, financially, and medically. The presentation runs through case scenarios with different situations we have experience and there is an interactive section that opens dialog with the attendees on what environment/ option would be most suitable for the scenario.
We will be providing Chick-fil-a for lunch.
