State offers long-term care seminars for residents
The state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene will begin offering free seminars for Maryland residents focusing on adult long-term care in September.
The first session is Sept. 2 in Baltimore City at 1910 N. Broadway, 21201 in Room 148. Next is a session Sept. 13 at the Howard County Health Department, 7178 Columbia Gateway Driveway in Columbia.
The sessions run from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. and require registration because seating is limited.
They will cover subject such as how to get ready for nursing home care, how to protect assets and still get care, how to determine the right kind of coverage and what questions to ask, planning for financial independence and protecting inheritance. There will be no product solicitation and trained Medicaid staff will be available for long-term care questions.

Comments
These seminars are certainly needed, now more than ever. There is plenty of info out there but much of it is confusing. A seminar usually is facts and fast. Also gives a much-needed opportunity to meet and talk with others in the same boat. Something positive (for a change).
