How to Pay for the Nursing Home: An Attorney's Perspective


Courses Adult / Money -
CE Adult Winter/Spring 2026

The biggest fear for most baby boomers is how to pay for the nursing home and still leave an inheritance for the next generation. We will walk through the following questions and more including: How will I meet my nursing home goals? Is Long Term Care Insurance for me? What about home healthcare? Should I gift my money away? Would I qualify for Medicaid? What about my current Trust, does it protect my assets and avoid the nursing home? What is the 60- Month claw back? What if my spouse goes into the nursing home and exhausts our money? Learn how to create an effective plan to deal with these uncertainties.
