SGY Speaking and Seminar Recap - Spring 2020
Attorneys and other staff members from Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak conduct a number of speaking engagements each month, including speaking at the firm's own seminars and outside events. Here's a summary of the firm's speaking engagements from the second quarter of 2020 (April - June), which coincided with the move to virtual events due to COVID-19. If you weren't able to attend, or even if you were but would like to hear the presentation again, you're in luck. One of the positive things that has come out of the need to shift to virtual, is we are now able to record all of our virtual seminars and put them up for anyone to view later at their convenience.

Podcast Episode 10 Answers the Question, What's in Your Estate Planning Toolbox?
The process of estate planning can vary greatly from individual to individual and family to family. No two estate plans are the same, or at least, they probably shouldn't be. There are several tools that can be used in estate planning, and which ones should be used by different people vary. In episode 10 of the Second Half of Life podcast, "What's in Your Estate Planning Toolbox?," Attorney Landon Hodges and Long-Term Care Planner Kristin Daugherty take a look at some of these tools that will assist people in planning for their second half of life. Among several items, they discuss which documents everyone needs for estate planning, why a Power of Attorney may not be enough, beneficiary designations, advantages and disadvantages of transferring assets into a trust, special needs planning and ABLE accounts, and why pre-planning for long-term care costs provides the best options.

My Loved One Needs In-Home Care — Where do I Receive the Help I Need?
We all want to stay home for as long as possible, even after a health care crisis or dementia diagnosis. The good news is that there are programs available to keep the ones you love at home without going broke in the process. However, navigating the process is overwhelming and sadly, many individuals end up in a nursing home before the process is complete.
At Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak, we are always surprised how few people know about the Community Healthchoices (CHC) Waiver program (previously the Aging Waiver program or the PDA Waiver program). CHC Waiver is a program designed to keep individuals – age 60 and over – in their homes as an alternative to skilled nursing home care. These services include home health services (caregivers), specialized medical equipment, meals, personal emergency response systems, and even home modifications.
Working with a knowledgeable Certified Medicaid Planner™ is the first step when applying for in-home care. The application process is time consuming and requires advocacy to ensure your application is completed in a timely manner. A Certified Medicaid Planner™ can expedite the process and eliminate frustrations.
