Will The Government Pay For My Nursing Home Expenses?

by Miller Estate & Elder Law | Mar 31, 2020 | Medicaid, Nursing Home

One of the most frequently asked questions I get as an Elder Law attorney is “Will the Government Pay for My Nursing Home Expenses?” There are government programs that will pay or help pay for long term nursing home care but Medicare is not one of them. Medicaid does pay for nursing home care but there are very strict income and asset limits to qualify. The biggest and most costly mistake that people make is not getting information about how they can qualify for Medicaid. Watch this video to learn more. If you have a loved one in a nursing home or going to a nursing home, let us help you. Give us a call at 256 251-2137.
