Planning for "The Golden Years"

"How will we pay for the nursing home?"

When we counsel clients on elder law, this is the most frequent question we hear. People are worried. They're worried about the high cost of long-term care for their parents and for themselves.

We are almost always asked, "Should we give our assets away so the government will pay for our care?" We say no; this is not a good plan. If people give away their assets and "put the house in the kids' name", this can cause them to be ineligible for public assistance for a potentially long period of time.

If you or your family members are planning for "The Golden Years," let us show you how to plan for long-term care. We can advise you on the nuances of Medical Assistance (Medicaid), the program that pays for certain long-term care.

We can also explain how long-term care insurance can play a role in protecting your assets so they are not all lost to the high cost of nursing home and other long-term care.
