The workshop was the local response of Channels 45 & 49 to the nationally telecast series using the same title which the stations carried.
Attorney Alpern’s topic, “Nursing Home Costs: How to Plan for Nursing Home Care,” he spoke about the toll in which the cost of nursing homes can take on your assets. Attorney Alpern said, “Nursing home costs are the single biggest threat to leaving any inheritance to your heirs when you pass away.” He emphasized that having long-term care insurance or gifting assets to children during lifetime may be the only remaining solution for this problem.
