The decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is often accompanied by an incredible amount of anxiety and stress. Whether it's the result of a sudden disability or a gradual decline in health, no family is ever really prepared for the transition.

In starting the search for a nursing home, assisted/independent living facility or home health care agency, families are often faced with these burdensome questions:

• How will we afford this care?

• Will we lose the house?

• Can the nursing home or assisted living facility seize bank accounts?

• What if accounts / assets are jointly titled in someone else’s name?

• What happens to the elderly spouse or disabled child still living at home? And,

• Is there a way to protect the assets I’ve worked so hard to leave to our family?

Contrary to popular belief, Medicare and Private Health Insurance will NOT cover most of the costs associated with long-term care.In California these costs typically run in excess of $7,500 per month.

There’s no greater frustration or heartbreak for a senior to watch their entire life savings (…and the inheritance they worked so hard to leave to their family), get eaten up by long-term care expenses.Fortunately, there are a number of strategies designed to protect your assets (or those of your loved ones), while preserving your independence and the level of care you need.

Learn a better way to protect your family and the things that matter most.
