Protecting Your Assets from Long Term Care

Many older adults are worried about losing their life's savings if they or a loved one needs nursing home care. Our experienced Geriatric Planning Specialists are able to provide planning techniques for:

  • How to pay for home care and avoid nursing home placement

  • Protecting the home and other real estate

  • Protecting the maximum amount of assets in bank accounts, CD's, stocks, bonds and mutual funds

  • Maximizing the protection of assets for the spouse still residing at home

  • Transferring assets to children and grandchildren

The decision to move a family member or a loved one into a nursing home is one of the most difficult you can make. Perhaps the move is being made because the family member can no longer care for himself or herself...or perhaps has a progressive disease such as Alzheimer's. No matter what the reason, those involved are almost always under great stress. At Marshall & Associates, we assist those in need in the following areas:

  • How to find the right nursing home
  • How to get good care in a nursing home
  • Formulating plans that minimize the loss of assets to the cost of care
  • Establishing entitlement to benefits from Medicare, Medical Assistance, and programs offered by local Agencies on Aging
  • Completion and filing of applications for government and private assistance
