How to Get Medicaid Coverage for Assisted Living and Nursing Home Care

Protect Your Family

One of the biggest fears that many people have today is the fear of having their life savings wiped out if they need long-term care. What a shame to see someone’s life savings of 30, 40, or 50 years wiped out in a matter of months. Whether you or a family member is in a crisis or not, it is important that you understand what you can do to protect your hard-earned assets!

FREE informational workshops will be hosted by Elder Law Attorney, Dennis J. Toman, for families in and around the Greensboro metropolitan area.

This will be in a relaxed setting in our Learning Center, and will last about 1-1/2 hours. Light refreshments are served.

Attendance at these meetings is FREE but seating is limited. Please use this site to reserve your spot and we’ll look forward to seeing you soon!
