A Study In Long Term Care Planning Solutions 
Leighton Schmitt                             
Location: FLI Rm 6
Nearly 70% of people will need Long Term Care (LTC), like in-home health care or a nursing home stay, at some point in their lives. The average cost of a nursing home is $225 per day, and the average stay is 835 days. That's over $187,000!  While goals may differ, many wish to protect themselves or a spouse, an estate, and to ensure they can receive the type of care they wish. We'll explore ways to achieve these goals including LTC Insurance, self-pay strategies, transfers, and legal protections. At least one session will feature an elder law attorney as a guest speaker.   Late start/Snowbird beginning April 11.
