When a family member is faced with a long-term stay in a nursing home, the cost is devastating to the average family. Nursing homes generally provide excellent care for those needing a high level of care, but the cost ranges from $6,000 to $8,000 per month here in Northwest Indiana. A family’s savings will be quickly depleted unless you take measures to preserve as much of the assets as the law allows.
There are many strategies that a skilled Medicaid attorney can use to preserve family assets and still obtain Medicaid eligibility for a family member. Most of our clients are very surprised and pleased at the results when they realize that the impact on their finances can be significantly reduced.
Tory Prasco takes a hands-on approach to Medicaid asset preservation and represents his clients through every step of the process. This takes a heavy burden off families already dealing with difficult medical decisions and ensures the best results. In many cases thousands of dollars in hard-earned savings are preserved, while maximizing income for a spouse who continues to live at home.

BCC brings a common sense approach to estate planning. We are careful to explain the basics of estate planning and to recommend the documents and strategies that fit your goals and budget. We are careful not to overcomplicate your plan, but to keep it as simple as possible while still achieving your objectives.
In addition to wills and trusts, BCC will explain the importance of other estate planning documents, such as a power of attorney, health care appointment, and living will.
