Expert advice on safeguarding your assets from Nursing Home Costs through
MA Medicaid
People work their whole life, and they’ve scrimped and they’ve saved and they’ve provided for
the kids and then an emergency happens and it’s not something that they’ve planned for.
People over the age of 65 have a 60 percent chance of requiring Medicaid long term care in
future. It therefore becomes essential to make sure you’re protected and your family members
are protected from financial stress in later years in life.
If there’s a husband and wife, and one of them goes into a nursing home, then all of a sudden
the spouse at home is under a lot of financial and personal stress, without professional
guidance and support. Nursing home expenses run about $10,000 per month. And that’s
probably at the lower end right now. So the $100,000 that people have saved is gone very
quickly. By 10 months, $100,000 can be gone.
MA Senior Asset Protection Specialists such as Common Wealth Advisory Group are able to protect the money and make sure that the spouse at home is provided for as well as the spouse that’s in the nursing home as well, ensuring they get the care that they need. They also assist in Disabled Nursing Home Planning and Parent Nursing Home Planning.
As experts in MA Medicaid regulations, CommonWealth Advisory Group is able to put the
spouse in a nursing home on Medicaid. Many people think that you must spend all of your
money before you get on the Medicaid program. But with a husband and wife, the regulations
allow us to save their house, and they’re able to keep roughly $100,000 in cash.
Commonwealth Advisory Group provides Massachusetts Asset Protection and the law allows us
to do that, and that’s what we do. So if one of the spouses goes into the nursing home, we’ll
save all the money, all the assets for that at-home spouse. So that, if it’s the wife that’s at
home, that she’s financially independent, and OK for the rest of her life.

Protection
Here are some very useful tips from the experts in MA Medicaid Regulations, CommonWealth
Advisory Group for safeguarding your assets:
No need to liquidate: Many assume to become eligible for Medicaid in Massachusetts. This is
not necessarily the case. There are ways to avoid liquidation.
Don’t give them away: Some seniors looking to protect their assets simply give them to their
children. Those who do lose control over those assets, and if those gifted assets are lost or
spent and the giver goes into a nursing home, there can be consequences under federal
regulations.
Trusts may not help: Some try to protect their assets by putting everything in a revocable trust.
Such funds are still available for liquidation to fund nursing home care.
