How to Protect Your Assets from the High Cost of Nursing Home Care in Massachusetts
A free five-lesson email course from Senior Solutions Attorneys at Law in Belmont
Nursing home care can use up a lifetime of savings faster than most families expect. The rules for getting help from MassHealth are strict, and a few common mistakes can cost a family dearly.
In five short emails over about a week and a half, you will learn:
• Who pays for nursing home care, and what Medicare does not cover
• How the five-year lookback works, and which gifts can backfire
• How families protect the home
• What the spouse at home can keep when one spouse needs care
• Options for care at home and in assisted living, and when to get help
Each lesson takes about five minutes to read and includes a short video. The course is written by Kathy L. McNair, Esq., who has practiced elder law in Massachusetts for 28 years.
