Long-term Care Planning | Protect Home From Nursing Home MA

Long-term care is one of the biggest financial fears families face.

The reality

Nursing home care can cost:

$12,000–$15,000 per month in Massachusetts

Even more in some areas of Eastern and Central MA

Without planning, families may be forced to sell their home.

Medicaid planning basics

Medicaid has strict asset rules

There is a 5-year look-back period

Transfers done incorrectly can trigger penalties

Early planning can make a huge difference, especially for families in the Pioneer Valley, Northampton, Tolland, and Vermont.
