The Crisis of Long-Term Care: Medicaid and Asset Protection Planning
Date
July 25, 2012
Nursing home costs routinely exceed $10,000 per month. Home care can be even more expensive. Estates are consumed on a daily basis, making this issue far more important than tax planning for older Americans. Boomers, 76 million strong, will overwhelm long-term care services and facilities as costs relentlessly rise. Long-term care insurance premiums are spiking. Medicaid remains the only viable alternative to asset exhaustion for the overwhelming majority of elders and disabled persons in need of long-term care. This session will explore planning alternatives, with a focus on asset protection and Medicaid eligibility. It will also address quality of care, tax, and related estate planning issues of concern and opportunity.
