CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER - TO BE RSCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE
Join estate planning attorney Rose Winkeler for an evening of clarity and support. Co-hosted by Highgate Senior Living, this workshop is designed to demystify the complexities of supporting your aging parents. You’ll walk away with proven strategies for funding care, planning for incapacity, and, most importantly, how to start these vital conversations with confidence and grace.
At this free workshop, you'll learn:
- What the differences are between Medicare and AHCCCS, and why understanding the gap is critical for covering the real costs of senior healthcare in Arizona.
- Why aging in place is more complicated than just staying home, and how to evaluate when a transition to a senior living community is the safer, more sustainable choice for your family.
- When to establish an estate plan, and how to include specific elder law protections that shield assets from being depleted by nursing home or other long-term care costs.
- How to access often-overlooked Veterans benefits, such as Aid and Attendance, which can provide significant monthly tax-free payments to help Veterans and their spouses pay for care.
- Where to begin this sensitive conversation with your parents, utilizing proven approaches to navigate their fears and ensure their wishes are honored without causing family friction.
This event is being held on NAU campus, but it is not an NAU sponsored event and is open to everyone. Parking instructions will be shared upon registration.
