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.
