When Benefits Become Overwhelming: Guidance for Alzheimer’s Caregivers Navigating Insurance Challenges
Event Date: September 15, 2026
Event Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM PDT
A free webinar for caregivers, families, and the professionals who support them – co-hosted by Kantor & Kantor, LLP and the Alzheimer’s Association, Southland Chapter.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia is demanding enough on its own. Then the insurance paperwork arrives.
Long-term care claims stall. A disability application comes back denied. A life insurance policy turns out not to cover what the family assumed it would. For caregivers already stretched thin, an unexpected coverage problem can feel like one more crisis in a season already full of them, and it often arrives at the worst possible moment.
Join us for a free 90-minute conversation designed to help caregivers understand what’s happening behind those denials and delays, and what steps families can take to protect their options.
