SoloAgersConnect presents the FREE informative webinar:

Medicaid, Burial Costs, and Final Arrangements: What Solo Agers Need to Know

Date: Monday, November 16 | Time: 6:30–7:30 p.m. EST

Webinar Overview

Planning for final arrangements and long-term care can feel overwhelming. This practical webinar brings together experienced professionals in advance planning and Connecticut Medicaid/Title 19 guidance to help solo agers approach these important decisions for themselves—or while caring for an aging parent—with greater confidence and clarity.

Participants will learn how thoughtful advance planning can support personal wishes, preserve independence, improve preparedness, and reduce stress for loved ones. The discussion will also clarify the administrative steps involved in Medicaid eligibility and applications for long-term care services.

What You’ll Learn

• Why advance planning can document and support your final wishes and give your family peace of mind.
• Ways to prepare for long-term care while maintaining control and independence.
• The role of Medicaid-compliant final expense and funeral trusts.
• Core considerations in Connecticut Medicaid/Title 19 eligibility and applications.
• How organized documentation and professional coordination can reduce delays and stress.
• Where non-attorney guidance ends and legal counsel may be needed.

Who should attend?

Solo agers who are planning for their own future, caring for an aging parent, or seeking a clearer understanding of final-arrangement planning and Connecticut Medicaid support. Anyone in this situation who seeks to learn more about these topics in Connecticut or in general.
