Helping Seniors & Their Loved Ones
People are living longer because of advances in medicine and healthcare. In fact, while everyone has heard that 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, many don’t realize that the fastest growing segment of the American population is people over age 80.
Planning to protect your nest egg for when, not if, a long-term care event strikes your family, can make all the difference when it comes to your ability to leave a legacy.

7/15 – The VA Benefit 90% of Families Don’t Know Exists (But Should)
Most Veterans & Their Families Are Missing Out—Are You?
Did you know there’s a VA benefit that could help cover the cost of long-term care, in-home care, and assisted living—but most families don’t even know it exists?
If your loved one served during wartime—even without seeing combat—they may qualify. And if you’re caring for them, this benefit could mean the difference between struggling and finally getting the help you need.
In this free webinar, you’ll learn:
- Who qualifies for the VA Pension Benefit (Aid & Attendance)
- What counts as “wartime service” (it’s broader than most think)
- How this benefit can help pay for care at home or in a facility
- Why most families are told they “don’t qualify”—and how to fix that
What Our Clients Say
“I would recommend anyone nearing retirement to talk to Scott and get what needs to be done prepared for the future … A lot of times we think the future is way off, it’s not. I found that out myself.”
C.W., Richmond KY
“He was right there with me all the time to help me take care of everything… I had a small farm my mommy and daddy left me, which is the first thing they wanted…. He saved me a lot of things I could have lost if it hadn’t been for him.”
B.C., Irvine, KY
“We were dealing with a lot of emotions, a lot of really hard times and then you have to worry on top of that if somebody is going to hurt your family more… I never felt that with Scott and his team … Every time I came in, I felt welcomed and at that time I really needed that because it showed compassion when you’re going through a crazy, Topsy turvy life.”
S.H., Kirksville, KY
“I tried to do everything myself and the bills got so overwhelming with parents in assisted living and the nursing facility. I quickly realized I was not going to be able to make the money work so that’s the point I started searching for help ….Scott sat down with us and made us feel very comfortable … we went over the options we had and the things he could help us with…. There was no pressure.”
