Mark Werner, owner of Cornerstone Advisors and certified financial planning professional returns to ElderTalk with Joe Cordell to discuss financial planning, as it pertains to housing for the elderly. Attorney-CPA Joe Cordell and co-host Susan Arthur join Mark in the conversation to highlight the methods to pay for the medical or custodial care that seniors often require in their housing.

Mark breaks down how the features of the housing care affect the costs and planning involved in the process, as well as how an attorney and a financial advisor working in tandem can be an effective way of building a plan, in order to pay the necessary expenses while protecting assets.

Mark also addresses questions regarding long-term care insurance by giving an example of how payments were addressed and how the chances for the need for long-term care can be a reasonable investment in your medical and financial future.
