Learn more about the governmental programs which assist the elderly and disabled with their medical and long term care costs. The average cost of nursing home care is $6,500 a month in Florida. Effective planning can shelter assets from being depleted. V.A. benefits, Medicaid, long term care insurance, and planning tools will be taught.

We will discuss strategies that you can use in your personal situation, and that can be used to understand client issues, and possible legal responses to those issues.
