Presented by:
Joanna M. Hurley,
Hurley Elder Care Law
Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Time: 1:00 – 2:00 pm Eastern time
The demand for long-term care continues to grow, while soaring costs place increasing strain on families. Case managers, social workers, and nurses often step in during moments of crisis to help navigate Georgia’s Medicaid programs — but what if planning began earlier? Join Joanna Hurley of Hurley Elder Care Law for a practical discussion on Georgia’s long-term care options, including Nursing Home Medicaid and Elderly & Disabled Waiver (EDWP) Programs. This session will highlight not only how these programs work, but why early legal planning is essential to protect families, preserve assets, and reduce avoidable stress when care needs arise. Approved for 1 CORE hour of continuing education for Georgia Licensed Professional Counselors and Georgia Licensed Clinical Social Workers. Free to attend. Registration required.
