Stop the Nursing Home "Spend-Down" – Protect Your Legacy Today

In 2026, a private nursing home room in Missouri averages $90,996 per year, yet state Medicaid rules can force you to spend your life's savings down to as little as $2,000 before help begins. While your home may be initially exempt (up to a $752,000 equity limit), it remains a primary target for Estate Recovery liens after your passing, often leaving your family with nothing. A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) acts as a legal shield, removing your property and savings from the state's reach so they pass directly to your heirs—but because Missouri enforces a strict five-year look-back period, waiting for a health crisis is often too late.
Take control of your future now: Start your five-year clock today to ensure your hard-earned assets stay in your family, where they belong.

St. Charles County is warning seniors to be on high alert for a phishing scam targeting people who are eligible for the Seniors Real Estate Property Tax Relief Program.

Scammers are sending emails impersonating government offices, claiming urgent updates or actions are required to continue receiving tax relief benefits. These emails often contain links or attachments designed to steal your personal information or install malware on your device.

Communications related to St. Charles County’s senior tax relief program are sent from [email protected]. These emails do not request any information or contain any links. Text messages are not used to send updates about the program.

“We might periodically email taxpayers for other reasons, such as requesting a physical mailing address and phone number,” says Collector of Revenue Michelle McBride. “These emails will always come from an .org address, will never contain links, and won’t ask for personal information other than what we need to call you or send you mail. If you’re concerned an email is a scam, before you click anything, please pick up the phone and call us at 636-949-7470.”

How to spot a phishing email:
✉️ Check the sender’s email address. Government emails usually come from a .gov or .org email address. Be cautious of unfamiliar addresses. Emails from St. Charles County come from .org.
🚩 Urgent or threatening language is a red flag. Phrases like “Act now or lose benefits” are often used by scammers to trick victims into going along with the scam instead of taking time to investigate.
📞 If you’re unsure, call. Use a web browser to look up the phone number for the government office and call them directly to ask if the communication is legitimate. Don’t use the contact information provided in the email unless it matches the official website.
📝 Watch for spelling or grammar mistakes. Government communications are professionally written and carefully edited.
📎Do not click links or open attachments unless you are absolutely sure the email is legitimate.
🔗 Check the website address of links. If you’re using a computer, hover your mouse cursor over a link without clicking on it. You should see a pop up that shows the web address that link goes to. If it doesn’t clearly show a government website, do not click.
