I have always wanted to know more about how to protect assets and still be able to qualify for Medicaid benefits, in this episode, I realize it is possible for all of us!

Sayge Grubbs is an Elder Law attorney that is on a mission to improve the lives of our elderly population. Not only does he help protect assets and qualify clients for Medicaid benefits, he has also created Seniorsindex.com for Alabama residents to access necessary information quickly.

I am so honored to be able to interview a lawyer and gain so much knowledge and insight to share with everyone who asks.

Main take-a-ways:

1. Prepare early
2. There is a trust available that will protect assets from Medicaid. Sage Legacy Counsel is a firm that specializes in this type of trust.
3. Not all trusts are created equal. Know what kind of trust you want.
4. The cost for a trust should be $1500+. If you are ever around people who are claiming they can create a trust for you for less than $1000 be very critical about their legitimacy.
5.Having a trust will avoid probate. That means peace for your family after your passing.

The event Sayge Grubbs is hosting is the 3rd Annual Successful Aging Bootcamp in Montgomery, Alabama. The event will be held at Vaughn Forest Church May 19, 2023 and starts at 10am and ends at 3pm.. This event will have CEU's for social workers and nurses. All proceeds will be donated to a local charity delivering meals on wheels.

You can go to seniorsindex.com to register for the event.

Here is a popular question,: How do I know when my loved one needs some help? 

That is what this episode is all about. I have been really interested in vulnerability, shame and courage recently and I have found some really great tactics you can use to know when to step in . Also, how to use vulnerability  in your favor, how to identify when it is hurting you and how much vulnerability plays a role in every relationship we have.

It is a great episode that I hope adds value to your life and your relationship with your loved one.

Did you know that your elderly loved one can change their insurance every year? Do you know they could fall prey to commercials that could make them believe changing insurances is the right thing to do?

Listen to this podcast episode that explains all the insurances you need to know about for an elderly loved one.

I go over basic information about Medicare, Medicaid and supplemental plans. I also go over some tips for long term care insurance and how to ensure you get the benefit you have paid into for so many years.

Do you have a loved one in the hospital? Have you had a loved one in the hospital that the experience was not as good as could have been? I have put together a few tips that I have found helpful over the last few years of my career inside the senior living industry. Here are a few topics we cover:
1. Know when the doctor rounds
2. Get to know your nurses and communicate your loved ones needs and how to best care for them. Make it personal.
3. Understand that not all nurses are trained to care for people with dementia.
4. Communicate with your case managers and social workers early one and explain current living situations and plans for the future if a move is required for their safety needs.

If you would like to reach me to help you with your caregiving journey then you can schedule a call with me and we can talk about your loved one and how to ensure you know everything you need to know!
