Will the nursing home take your house?
Most families don’t realize they may have options before applying for Medicaid.
Many families are told the nursing home or an outside company will help them apply for Medicaid.
What most people don’t realize is those services usually focus on filing the paperwork, not protecting your assets first.
In some cases, families spend far more than necessary simply because they didn’t know their options before applying.
Once the Medicaid application is submitted, many planning opportunities disappear.
Before applying for Medicaid for a loved one in a nursing home, it may be worth learning what options may still be available to protect your family’s assets.
If your family is facing long-term care decisions, feel free to contact our office to discuss your situation.
