(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 30, 2015 ) Brighton, Michigan -- Certified Elder Law Attorney Christopher Berry's presentation is entitled "Protect Your Loved Ones From the Devastating Effect of Long-Term Care Costs - Medicaid and VA Benefits Explained". He will explain the different paths to paying for long-term care costs focusing on Medicaid and VA benefits. Both governmental programs can be complicated and confusing. He will also provide nuts and bolts guidance on both, including the latest legal developments.
Attorney Berry was quoted: "I am really looking forward to presenting this information to family caregivers. Often caregivers are so focused on day-to-day imperatives that they fail to make vital long-term care plans. The expo is a rare opportunity to pause and consider many of the unique issues these families face."
