How to Pay for the Nursing Home: An Attorney’s Perspective
The biggest fear for most baby boomers is how to pay for the nursing home and still leave something for the next generation. With ever changing estate planning laws and great increases in nursing home costs, the fear is real. Understand your options. Is long term care insurance for you? What about home care? Should I gift my money away? Would I qualify for Medicaid? Does my current trust avoid the nursing home? What is the 60 month claw back? What if my spouse goes into the nursing home and exhausts our money? Discuss these questions and many more, including how to plan and place your assets to meet your nursing home goals.
