Don't Go Broke Paying the Nursing Home!: How Californians Can Protect Their Homes, Cash and Retirement Accounts

This book contains invaluable information on how Californians can protect their homes, cash and retirement accounts in a healthcare crisis. Many people are unprepared to deal with a stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, a fall or other long-term care crisis that requires a stay in a nursing home. With a nursing home costing $72,000 to over $400,000 (sub-acute care) a year, a person or family will go broke in a short period of time unless you know the little known techniques and strategies to qualifying for Medi-Cal to help pay the nursing home costs. Topics covered include living trust, Powers of Attorney, Medicare, Medi-Cal, long-term care insurance, IRAs, pensions, Social Security and more. This is a must read for Californians already in or soon to be in a nursing home.
