Not Everyone Should Apply for ALTCS…
Not Everyone Should Apply for ALTCS…
A placement agent referred Diana to us.
Her dad is showing early signs of dementia…
…and starting to need reminders for basic daily tasks like showering and brushing his teeth.
He has $1,300 a month in Social Security…
…and no assets.
Diana assumed ALTCS was the next step.
But during our consultation…
…we identified something important.
He’s not medically eligible for ALTCS yet.
Applying now would result in a denial.
But there was a better option.
He’s a veteran.
Which means he may qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits instead.
We explained that he could receive up to $2,424 a month…
…bringing his total monthly income to around $3,700.
A much better solution for where he is right now.
We connected Diana with a firm that specializes in Aid and Attendance applications…
…since that’s not what we do.
And we explained exactly when ALTCS would become the better option…
…and what to watch for medically so she knows when to come back to us.
We don’t try to force every situation into ALTCS.
We help families find the right solution…
…at the right time.
If you have clients who aren’t sure what they qualify for or where to start…
…have them call us today for a free consultation.
