Pay For Long-Term Care Without Draining The Savings Your Parents Spent A Lifetime Building (With VA, Medicare And Medicaid Benefits Reviewed Up Front)
Check Your Family’s Care Readiness4 questions. 2 minutes.The Three Questions Every Family Ends Up Facing
It Usually Starts With A Phone Call.
A fall. A hospital stay. A doctor says she can't go home alone.
Suddenly you're touring facilities on a Tuesday.
Comparing prices that don't make sense.
Calling the bank for access... and finding out you don't have it.
That's how families make one of the biggest money decisions of their lives.
In a week. Under stress. With half the facts.
Meet Tyler G. Harrelson
President and Investment Advisor Representative of The Art and Science of Successful Planning in Fort Myers. Florida State University graduate, with a degree in Risk Management and Insurance.
His practice includes senior care planning: VA, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, coordinated with elder law attorneys.
But none of that matters unless your family has a plan before the call comes.

Same Family. Two Very Different Experiences.
Planning In A Crisis
Decisions made in days
Benefits nobody knew to look at
No legal authority when you need it
Savings spent before anyone asks questions
Planning Ahead
Care options compared calmly
VA, Medicare and Medicaid reviewed early
Powers of attorney signed while everyone can
A funding plan the whole family understands
Step One Is Paperwork. And It Has A Deadline.
Powers of attorney and health care documents have to be signed while your parent can still sign them. After that, the options get slower, costlier and more public.
Answer plain-English questions online. A licensed attorney reviews every plan. Then Tyler checks it against your accounts and beneficiaries.
Typical documents shown. What you need depends on your situation.

Fair Questions:
"Won't Medicare cover this?"
It may cover some short-term care. Long-term care is a different question, and it is worth knowing the answer before you need it.
"Is it too late? Mom already has memory problems."
Not necessarily. There are still decisions to make and benefits to look at. It is worth one conversation.
"Does this mean spending down everything?"
Not automatically. That is exactly the question to answer early, with the right professionals. Medicaid planning involves legal advice from an elder law attorney.
"My siblings don't agree."
Common. A written plan gives everyone the same facts. That alone settles a lot of arguments.
"Who writes my legal documents?"
Not The Art and Science of Successful Planning. A licensed attorney at The Succession Firm, a separate law firm, reviews your plan under its own engagement with you.
"What does it cost?"
That depends on your situation and the work involved. You get the fees in writing before you commit to anything.
Next Year, If You Plan Now
Everyone knows the wishes. Someone has authority. And the money question has an answer.
Next Year, If You Wait
Same hope that it won’t happen. Then a phone call. And a week to figure it all out.
Four questions. Two minutes.
Your call.
