Nearly anyone who is a long-term care resident of a skilled nursing home can immediately apply for Medicaid to pay for the care.
To do so, an applicant who is not yet impoverished must shuffle assets according to a complex method that has been approved by federal courts. The reward for doing this can be a savings of around $100,000 per year in nursing home costs.
We created this website to help you avoid some of the stresses we experienced during a crisis situation while caring for our grandmother. We faced urgent decisions regarding her care, but we didn’t know where to find the information to make smart choices. Our goal is to provide a starting point to help you find information, services and other resources in your search for senior care. Our hope is that this site can provide you with a first step to finding reliable care for your loved one.
