Plan Wisely
Lacking access to alternatives like long-term care insurance or Medicare, most people pay out of their own pockets for long-term care until they become eligible for Medicaid.

By default, it has become the primary source of funding for nursing home care and the long-term care insurance of the middle class. Download the Free Guide by Clicking here.
Be sure you plan accurately and wisely. Any errors can cause Medicaid to deny your claim, impose a penalty period–setting back your plans for you and your family, and cost you money. Let me know if you have any further questions. Our Free Medicaid Planning Consultation (a $450 value) ends 8/31/13.
