The unfortunate reality is that nursing home care is prohibitively expensive for most people. While some people look ahead and build estate plans in advance that will help them deal with the cost of nursing home care, many families find themselves facing the question of how they will pay for nursing home care only when they find themselves facing that need.
I help people in both situations. My ability to create comprehensive estate plans helps people prepare for the cost of nursing home care. I am also skilled at helping people identify and pursue all possible programs that could help them deal with the costs of nursing home care, including Medicaid.
Planning for Future Nursing Home Care Expenses
It is always advisable to take steps now to help deal with future nursing home costs. Planning for those expenses can be built into a comprehensive estate plan, including the use of Medicaid asset protection trusts. We can also address issues with future financial and health care needs, by naming people as your power of attorney and as your health care proxy to make financial choices and health care decisions for you if the need arises in the future.
