A Better Way to Protect Your Assets and Qualify for Medicaid Benefits
Too few older adults know and understand their rights and more importantly, their options regarding long-term care at home. Many people would prefer not to face this issue or have blind faith that they will avoid needing such care as they get older. The sad truth is most of us will indeed need care at home to some degree. According to the U.S. Department of Health, “Someone turning 65 today, has an almost 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services or support in their remaining years.” And to quote the New York State Court of Appeals, private pay for long-term care can be “ruinously expensive”. Too many of our aging adults find themselves headed toward bankruptcy, just to try to take care of themselves or loved ones.
Our mother lost everything just trying to stay home. The people that cared for her charged so much, that she had nothing left. I wish I would have known about this program sooner. That would have been life changing for her. Thank you for sharing the information.
