With a growing number of adults in the United States turning 65 years of age it’s more important than ever to plan for long-term medical costs. Medicaid was introduced as a “need-based” program administered by state. It helps pay the cost of long-term medical care if a senior meets a strict eligibility requirement.
Since nursing home costs are rising faster than seniors ability to pay out of pocket, medicaid planning helps seniors pay for long-term medical care. All without spending down their life savings and selling all of their assets.

At the end of the day, you want options that work for you, and planning ahead will put you in a strong position to control your future.
