Show Notes

Navigating Long-Term Care: A Financial and Legal Guide for Middle-Class Families - This episode delves into the harsh reality of long-term care costs for Americans over sixty-five, with only a small percentage having private insurance. Medicare doesnt cover ongoing nursing home or assisted living stays, leaving many to rely on savings, family help, or Medicaid. The episode explores a Medicaid spend-down strategy, where assets are legally used up on things like funeral prepayments or medical bills to qualify sooner. It also discusses the five-year look-back rule, medically needy programs, and the importance of planning ahead through eldercare specialists or long-term care policies.
