10 Tips to Protect Assets When Your Spouse Needs Nursing Home Care 

Great advice! My mom spent her last days in a Medicaid bed in the nicest nursing home I have ever been in, and I have been in a few. She received excellent care and my retired brother could visit her daily. She was wise enough to be generous with her kids many years before the look back. Not that she was swimming in cash. I'm very thankful for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Thank you , I love yours show it does help me to understand more about the nursing home and Medicare, Medicaid 👍💕🙏

Thank you for this information.

I have been a Medicaid specialist for over 15 yrs in nursing home, assisting families who need Mdcd after being cut from their skilled Medicare stay. Totally disagree with you on the premise that we push for private funds vs trying to get their Mdcd approved. It's been my experience that Eldercate attorneys often give advice that ends up with the pt being put on a restricted Medicaid stay due to improper transfer and they take 6 months or more to get the Medicaid approved which does indeed place the facility at a hardship, essentially taking care of the resident for free. There is no urgency on the part of the attorney and it's unfair to the facility to be expected to provide free care. The attorney is collecting revenue from the client while the facility who is caring for the pt receives nothing until the Mdcd is approved.

What’s the alternative to a revocable trust which is what I already have. I will be moving to Florida. Thank you

My wife of 50 years has dementia and want to be able to save some of our IRA funds to our son & grandchildren. Thinking about going to a lawyer that specializes in elder care. Heard there is a five year look back but feel like just giving my son most of our money right now. He does not make much money even whole working six days a week and offered to go in on a house with a think its called mother in law area.

have you ever heard of a health care trust fund in Mass.?

Would having a durable power of attorney ( and naming a trusted family member) help protect the finances of the patient and prevent the nursing home from administering/ taking their money? Isn't it true that anyone on a fixed income (disability/ retirement) only receives a tiny stipend of that income if they go into a facility? ... the facility gets the rest.
