Presented by Melonie Pratt and Renee Birnbaum, advisors from Choice Connections NY,  A Free Senior Housing Advisory Service 

Would  you like to understand Long Term Care?   This presentation will focus  on the different types of care available, associated costs and levels of  care. It will help  you understand senior housing care options, amenities, costs and levels  of care as well as home care options and costs. There will be a review  of funding options available to help pay for care that include VA  benefits, long term care (LTC) insurance and Medicaid.  You will also learn about other resources available in the community  that help supplement care; grants, day programs, and volunteer  organizations.

This meeting will be via Zoom only.  

 After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

NOTE: ChoiceConnections does not charge the senior or their family a fee for their help, but if a senior moves to a community that a ChoiceConnections advisor recommends, then ChoiceConnections collects a one-time fee from that community. The fee is a percentage of the first month's rent. That fee does not affect the rent.

Long Term Care

VA disability compensation

+VA disability compensation (pay) offers a monthly tax-free payment to Veterans who got sick or injured while serving in the military and to Veterans whose service made an existing condition worse. You may qualify for VA disability benefits for physical conditions (like a chronic illness or injury) and mental health conditions (like PTSD) that developed before, during, or after service. Find out how to apply for and manage the Veterans disability benefits you've earned.
