    Ep29 - Medicaid, Without the Jargon: What Most People Get Wrong

    Most families don't think about Medicaid until they're already in crisis. By then, the choices are narrower, the bills are bigger, and the conversation about what's still possible is one nobody wants to have on a hospital hallway. Rich is joined by Lori Bernabe, a Medicaid Service Coordinator with The Feller Group, an elder care and estate planning law firm. With 20+ years inside this work, Lori has seen what happens when families wait, and what happens when they start the conversation early. In this conversation: What Medicaid actually covers, and the difference between community Medicaid (care at home) and nursing home MedicaidThe pooled trust, the irrevocable trust, the promissory note, the spousal refusal, a plain-English tour of the tools families ask about after the factThe "child caregiver credit" that may let an adult child who's been living with and caring for a parent keep the family homeWhy funding a trust matters as much as opening one, and the five-year clock that resets with every new depositFilmed and recorded at Studio on the Avenue/LMC Media Mamaroneck, NY https://lmcmedia.org/ Produced and Edited by Vekterly https://www.vekterly.com/ Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice, a recommendation for any specific investment, strategy, or financial decision, or legal advice.

    Ep 28 - Stop Reacting, Start Planning: Avoid Becoming A Permanent Patient In A Sandwich Generation

    What does it actually mean to plan for your health, not just react to problems? In this episode of EnRich Your Life, Rich sits down with Dr. Raymond Zakhari, a triple board-certified nurse practitioner in adult health, family practice, and psychiatric–mental health, and founder of Metro Medical Direct, to talk about what proactive health planning can look like as you move through your 50s and into retirement. Dr. Zakhari breaks down how everyday people quietly drift into what he calls "permanent patient" status, why the healthcare system is designed around silos rather than solutions, and what five non-negotiables you should be focused on right now, starting with sleep. They also dig into the sandwich generation reality, caring for aging parents without a plan, the rising impact of cannabis on mental health, and why concierge medicine may be the model that finally puts patients back in control. If you've spent years planning your finances, but not enough time planning  for your health, this episode is your wake-up call.
