What is Medicaid planning, and why is it important?

Medicaid planning helps individuals and families legally structure their assets to qualify for Medicaid assistance without spending down their life savings.

Will I have to give up my home to qualify for Medicaid?

Not necessarily. There are legal strategies available to protect your home while still qualifying for Medicaid benefits.

When should I start planning for long-term care?

The earlier you start, the more options you’ll have to protect your assets and secure care. We recommend planning at least five years in advance due to Medicaid’s look-back period.

Can Medicaid cover nursing home costs?

Yes, Medicaid covers skilled nursing facility costs for those who qualify. Proper planning ensures you receive benefits while protecting your assets.

What happens if I apply for Medicaid without planning?

Without proper planning, you may have to "spend down" your assets, potentially leaving fewer resources for your spouse or family. We help you avoid this outcome.
