Listen in to a SPECIAL EPISODE of Senior Care Live as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, will recognize and celebrate the 11th anniversary of the program!  Steve welcomes 6 new affiliates to the Senior Care Broadcasting Network then visits with Glenn Stockton, estate planning and elder law attorney, from Stockton and Kandt.  Glenn reviews Medicaid, how it’s different from Medicare, and what can cause a Medicaid penalty.  Glenn also provides examples of what a “gift” is for Medicaid purposes, and why having a Care Contract is important.  Glenn also explains that, by working with a qualified and experienced elder law attorney, there may be opportunities to protect assets in your estate so that you don’t go broke paying for nursing home care. Steve explains that the normal seasonal demand cycle for senior care has been completely disrupted this year, where peak demand and waiting lists remain high well into the summer months.  Because of this, it’s more important than ever before to be proactive in your search for a senior care community!  Steve thanks everyone for an awesome 11 years!  #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #SeniorLiving #KansasCitySeniorCare #SeniorCarePlacement #SeniorCareAdvisor
