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.
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

Your Savings

A COMPLETE ELDER LAW PLAN
Comprehensive Elder Law Services Beyond Medicaid Planning
Elder law is about far more than qualifying for Medicaid. It encompasses legal planning that helps older adults and their families protect assets, prepare for long-term care, maintain independence, and make informed decisions about health care, finances, incapacity, and legacy planning.
