UNDERSTANDING LONG-TERM CARE

Medicare Doesn't Cover
Most Long-Term Nursing Home Care

Medicare generally covers only limited short-term skilled care under specific conditions. It does not pay for ongoing custodial care in a nursing home or extended care facility.

​

Understanding the difference and planning ahead can help you avoid unexpected costs and protect what matters most.

​

Protect your assets from these costs

A Loved One Needs Care Now

A nursing-home admission or sudden change in health does not necessarily mean planning opportunities have disappeared.

​

Eldon can evaluate the circumstances, existing estate plan, assets and applicable Medicaid rules to determine what options may still be available.

OR

Prepare Before
Care Is Needed

The earlier you begin planning, the more options may be available.

​

Advance planning can address your home, savings, trusts, estate plan, powers of attorney and other assets while preparing for the possibility of future long-term-care needs.

Protecting Your Home, Savings & Legacy Through Medicaid Planning

Medicaid planning is about more than qualifying benefits. It requires understanding how long-term-care rules interact with the assets you have spent a lifetime building. Because Medicaid rules can be complex and timing matters, the right strategy should be designed around your individual circumstances.

Your Home

Protecting and planning around real estate.

Your Savings

Understanding resources and asset planning strategies.

Trust Planning

Using appropriate trust structures as part of advance planning.

Your Spouse & Family

Coordinating protection for the people who depend on you.
