Crisis Medical & Nursing Home

 No One Knows What the Future Will Bring

Have you ever thought about going into a nursing home yourself? Most people answer, no. It is one of those situations where we feel “It could never happen to me.” But studies show that approximately two (2) out of every five (5) people reaching age 65 will need some type of long-term care. It is also important to understand that long-term care planning, including Medicaid planning, may be a necessary component in ensuring that the spouse “left behind” is not left in poverty. 

If you become sick or disabled, either temporarily or permanently, who will make decisions for you? Lack of proper planning can result in a lot of lost time, expense, heartache and can make a tremendous burden for your loved ones.

No matter what your age, it is imparative to become as best prepared as possible; in the event of an unexpected health care crisis or illness. The first step in crisis medical planning, or nursing home planning, is education. 

The more you know, the better you will be able to look out for the best interests of your family.
