"Unequal, Unprepared and Unprotected: Women and Aging"

The downside of living a long healthy life can be a retirement fraught with economic insecurity. Women face unique challenges as they age which are amplified by a lifetime of gender inequity. In fact, more than 50% of women over age 65 face the real crisis of outliving their resources. This CE will analyze why women are so susceptible to aging in poverty, identify the most at-risk populations and explore what resources are available to support the most vulnerable including Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program (QMB).

Please join Danielle Humphrey, JD, CELA, for a Complimentary Lunch CE on "VA Aid and Attendance: Making the Most of Your Past Service"

The VA “Aid and Attendance” benefit is one of the VA’s best kept secrets for retired service men and women. War time veterans over 65 or their surviving spouses who are facing the burden of long-term care costs can use the benefit to offset the expenses of in-home caregivers, Assisted Living Community fees and in certain circumstances Independent Living Community fees. The VA has recently implemented comprehensive changes to the rules for qualification. It is now critically important for healthcare professionals to understand the impact of these changes as they assist patients and families with their long-term care options.

CEs available: 1 ethics or core hour for social workers; 1 ethics or contact hour for case managers and RNs.

11:30 AM -12:00 PM: Registration and Lunch
12:00 PM -1:00 PM: 1 hour CE

Optional tour of the community afterwards
