Short- and long-term health care costs are astronomical. Many elders in Florida between 70 and 90 own their own home and have net assets between $25,000 and $750,000. Even on the upper end of that scale, an unexpected medical emergency can cause savings to dwindle quickly. And on the lower end, even a short-term stay at a rehab facility can completely empty the bank account. In most cases without protection, it does.

We can get Medicaid and VA aid and attendance to cover the costs of:

• Living at home with assistance
• Living in an assisted living facility
• Living in memory care
• Living in a nursing home

Many people do not realize Medicare and most other insurances do not cover beyond the first 100 days in a nursing home. The individual is responsible for the rest.

How Can You Protect Your Assets?

Medicaid planning legally protects an individual’s assets to be able to care for you in addition to Medicaid and VA benefits. Caregiver Support & Resources, LLC works with elder-law attorneys, and we can legally and ethically protect people’s assets to help them qualify for Medicaid and VA – ABA.  Medicaid, unlike Medicare, will cover most long-term care costs. Once we obtain Medicaid eligibility for an individual, if they remain within the Medicaid guidelines, they will have eligibility for the rest of their lives. Likewise for VA Aid and attendance.

There’s no reason an elder or their spouse should live in poverty for transitioning to higher levels of care. Our clients, their families and future generations may still live in comfort and dignity.

Transferring wealth and property to trusted individuals allows you to protect it for your use for years to come.

Do You Need Medicaid & VA Planning with Asset Protection?

Someone can save their whole life and think that they’ll have enough money for a rainy day  — and beyond. Then they may experience a stroke, major heart attack or receive an Alzheimer;s or cancer diagnosis. Without protection, they may no longer have the means to afford the care they require.

Few people know that preparation with a Medicaid and asset-protection specialist can avoid being left with nothing. There is much misinformation about long-term care Medicaid in Florida. Call us today for a free consultation at (727) 409-2292.
