You'll also learn spend down strategies that can help you qualify for Medicaid AND make your home more suitable for aging in place. If you know the rules and plan ahead, you can still protect your hard-earned assets and age at home as long as you're able to.

Preparing Your Home for Aging in Place
Barbara Vujs, RN, Joanna Miller, PT, and Marlo Matassa, Berlin VNA

In order to age in place, your home needs to be accessible and safe. Did you know that falls are the number 1 cause of injuries in seniors? They cause hip fractures, cuts, bruises, and head injuries. Slippery floors, electrical cords, and area rugs may seem harmless, but they can be the culprits. You can make your home safe with very basic changes. Proper lighting, assistive technology, the right shoes, and cleaning up clutter are just some of the things that they will discuss.
