Elder Legal Answers Your Questions On ...

Camarillo Health Care District concluded its "Elder Legal Answers Your Questions On ..." series on April 22, 2024. The topic was special needs trusts. Some of what was covered included what is a special needs trust, who might need and benefit from a special needs trust, what protections does it cover, and why (overall) it is an important trust to consider for a person with a disability or a child or an adult with special needs.

The series kicked off in Spring 2023.  February's topic was conservatorship and included a panal discussion. 

The series led with "Fraud, Financial Abuse and Signs of Domestic Abuse" in April 2023, followed on  May 15 with "What Happens if I Don't Die: Legal Planning for Incapacity," June 17 with "What You Need to Know When Hiring a Caregiver Privately," July 17 with  "Understanding and Addressing Elder Abuse," Aug. 21 with "Nursing Homes: What You Need to Know," Sept. 18 with "Does My Parent Have Dementia? Understanding Declining Capacity and Conservatorship, Oct. 16 with "Someone Died. What Now?;  Nov. 13 was "Knowing and Accessing Your VA Benefits and Dec. 11 was "Do You Know Your Housing Rights?"

If you missed any of these presentations, check out the videos below.

The District was pleased to work with the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging (VCAAA) through the Older Adult Recovery & Resilience (OARR) program to offer this series.
