Stop Draining Your Life Savings on Home Care - When Medicaid Could Be Covering It
A free educational session for New York families who are paying out of pocket for home care, worried about a loved one’s safety at home, or assuming a nursing home is the only option. Since 1997, we’ve been helping families protect their assets while getting the care their loved ones deserve — including 24/7 care most people don’t even know exists.
In 45 minutes, you'll discover:
THE “PRIVATE PAY TRAP” THAT BURNS THROUGH YOUR SAVINGS
And why paying for home care out of pocket — even temporarily — could cost your family tens of thousands of dollars that never had to be spent (and what to do instead before you write another check)
THE ASSET TRANSFER MISTAKE THAT TRIGGERS MEDICAID PENALTIES
Including why giving money to your kids or putting the house in their names — the thing everyone says to do — can leave your parent with zero coverage and zero savings at the same time
WHY 24/7 HOME CARE IS POSSIBLE (AND HOW MEDICAID CAN COVER IT)
And the little-known programs that let your loved one stay in their own home with round-the-clock care — not in a nursing home — even if you assumed that wasn’t an option for your family
This session is perfect for you if:
THIS IS FOR YOU:
You’re currently caring for an aging parent or spouse and watching their needs increase
You’re paying privately for home care and watching your savings disappear month after month
Someone told you that you “make too much” or “have too much” to qualify for Medicaid
You’re worried about safety at home — falls, memory issues, medication mistakes — and don’t know what to do next
You think a nursing home is the only option but desperately want to keep your loved one at home
THIS IS NOT FOR
Families who can comfortably afford $25,000+ per year in private home care costs indefinitely without concern
People looking for do-it-yourself Medicaid advice without professional legal guidance
Anyone who already has a comprehensive Medicaid home care plan in place and working
