Educational Programs Serving Those Who Served: Programs That Care for Aging Veterans

CLICK HERE TO REQUEST A DATE FOR THIS PROGRAM IN YOUR AREA

We owe a tremendous debt to the men and women that have served our country through military service - especially in times of war. There are some excellent (but not well publicized) programs that help repay this debt with care for aging veterans and their spouses or widows. These programs are designed to maximize each Veteran’s functional independence and lessen the burden of disability on Veterans, their families, and caregivers. Veteran's assistance programs help pay for the care of elderly and senior veterans. What health care professionals, senior care facilities, and care managers need to know about monetary and health benefits for veterans,  how you can help a veteran pay for medicine, and assisted living, in-home care or skilled nursing.  Learn how to determine if a senior you know is eligible for benefits, complete a care expense statement with full explanations so that the facility fees can be deducted as a medical expense, review a sample physicians statement with critical explanations, pension pay rates with current table, handouts with frequently asked questions, fast letters related to housebound benefits, and when to use optional forms.  Veterans age 65 and older who served in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam can be eligible for up to $2,120 month tax free. Surviving spouses up to $1,149 month.  To learn more about these veterans benefits, register today.  This session will be taught by Attorney Terry Douglas and Financial Advisor Toni Whaley.  Terry Douglas, founded the Douglas Law Office based in Annapolis, Maryland.
