The AFT Brochure on Special Needs Trusts for the Elderly is Here!
We know that you have questions about how to pay for long-term care in a nursing home for an aging parent or loved one and how to also protect their assets. For the elderly who are over the age of 65 entering a skilled nursing home in Alabama and certain other states, Alabama Family Trust can set up a special needs trust which can enable that individual to keep the “spend down” to pay for needed items and services not covered by Medicaid. While it could be a little intimidating to think about setting up a special needs trust – but if you have a disabled loved one entering a nursing home, you can’t afford not to think about it! Fortunately, the Alabama Family Trust brochure is here to make understanding special needs trusts for the elderly easier than ever.

Alabama Family Trust has been selected to receive the Alabama Gerontological Society’s 2016 Organization Award at their 36th Annual Conference for AFT’s commitment to improving the quality of life for older Alabamians.
AFT was nominated by Dr. Daniel Potts, attending neurologist at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tuscaloosa and champion for life-affirming care for those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
“It was an honor to nominate the Alabama Family Trust for the Alabama Gerontological Society Award,” Potts said. “I can’t think of an organization in our state that sets a better example for creating a culture of compassion in caring for the elderly and disabled.”
