A diagnosis is not the finish line. It is the starting line.

Elder care strategist Cynthia Perth Hughes and elder law attorney Aaron Frye team up for this breakout from our Alzheimer's and Dementia seminar, recorded February 21, 2026 at McGregor Baptist Church. Together they walk families through the decisions that come next. They cover the difference between remaining at home, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, what each typically costs, and the legal documents every family needs in place, including durable power of attorney, health care surrogacy, wills, and the right kind of trust.

Aaron explains what Medicaid actually protects, where pre-planning matters most, and how to move from a place of crisis to a place of control. If you are overwhelmed by decisions and unsure where to begin, this conversation offers clear, practical direction.

McGregor Dementia Podcast provides relevant resources to those currently walking the dementia journey with their loved ones.
