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.
