In this book we take the mystery out of nursing home and Medicaid
laws. These laws can lead to the financial ruination of most people
who need long-term nursing home care, since Medidcaid will only
pay for nursing home care once the patient and family have spent
most of their assets.
These laws are
widely misunderstood, even by many lawyers and financial planners.
Most people believe that you need to take action either three or
five years before a nursing home stay, and we explain how this belief
is completely false. A significant part of the assets, and sometimes
100%, can be saved even when someone is already in a nursing home.
This book explains
practical issues of everyday importance, such as the difference
between Medicare and Medicaid and how they both work. We go through
the process of filing and application for Medicaid and we tell you
what to look for in an elder law attorney. We have included a chapter
on end of life planning, since most people ignore this vitally imortant
area.
In short, this
book presents a practical and useful guide to one of the most vexing
problems of modern life.
