Are you faced with the crippling costs of nursing home care?
The average cost in the United States for a private room in a nursing home is $229 per day or $6,965 per month, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. That's $83,580 per year. At these prices, it's no wonder that many families find their savings drained within the first year. If you or a loved one have been placed in a nursing home or will be placed in a nursing home in the near future: Did you know that Medicare will not pay for long-term care, but the government Medicaid program will? |
Medicaid will cover nursing home costs, but the problem is that in order to qualify for Medicaid assistance for long-term care you must meet strict financial requirements. For example, a single applicant in Virginia may be required to "spend down" their savings until less than $2,000 remains. They may even be forced to sell their home.
But that doesn't mean you have to lose everything before you can qualify for Medicaid assistance.
If you or a loved one are faced with the immediate need for nursing home care, we in the legal field call this a Medicaid crisis. With the help of an experienced elder law attorney, you may be able to save your hard-earned savings while still qualifying for Medicaid. Before you fill out any paper work, we strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified elder law attorney to make sure you get the best possible outcome. Contact us for a consultation for inquiries within the state of Virginia.
