THE BIG MEDICAID SECRET NURSING HOMES WON'T TELL YOU

There is a big secret about medicaid that nursing homes won't tell you because it results in less money in their pockets.

It is SO EASY to end up going broke in a nursing home, but there are a lot of different ways to protect your assets and those of your loved ones.

In this video Dana will take you through a common nursing home scenario that comes into our office ALL THE TIME.

Don't let it happen to you! Come to one of our free workshops to learn more and to get started on getting your ducks in a row!

Here’s the big secret. Everything from homeownership, health and homeowner’s insurance and now I can add the end of life care is all about profits for companies and people do not matter except when it comes to their money.

Thank you so much! For me, unfortunately I'm learning all this too late. My 96yr old dad has was admitted to a long term nursing facility about 3 weeks ago. In applying for Medicaid I was just informed that he does not qualify because of a 8k insurance policy. I have to cash it out and pay the nursing home. My dad is dirt poor and this policy was all he had towards a decent burial. Medicaid does not care, if he's buried or not, they say that's my problem. So sad... He was living with me but, I couldn't physically give him the care he needs. My house is not set up for it either. Pray for us!

Makes you wish to just go ahead and die rather than leave the burden on others. What they are doing to us is beyond criminal.

The Big Secret is to put your assets in a trust at least five years (I believe) prior to needing medicaid. And how do these places have the gall to charge a person EIGHT THOUSAND dollars a month for their lousy care? I'd like to see a cost breakdown on that.

Considering all the taxes we pay, this is something that should never happen to anyone. Amazing video, thank you for caring.

I pray to God that I never have to go to a nursing home. I was in the health field for 20 year's and most of the younger generation not all of them but, most of them were horrible. Such a sad situation. I feel if you sign up for the position be ready to do it right. I pray for the world we live in today.

Wanted to like the video but the ending was as deceiving as the nursing home industry.

This is depressing. Our politicians really don’t care for us. People fight for one party but don[t realize they are both fleecing us

[Omikoshi]

Health and elder care is competely broken in the US.

Basically you work your whole life, save and invest so that nursing companies can fleece you with substandard services. I think it would be a lot cheaper to remodel your house for accessibility and then hire people to take care of you, in your house. The only problem with this scenario is that you will need to coordinate with the kids if they even think of getting back some inheritance.

The Big Secret is; don’t call the ambulance. Everyone dies at home to save the home.

I think I'm going to take up bridge jumping before I ever go into a nursing home!

[SgtBooker]

Another thing the nursing home won’t do is tell you how much it will cost per month until you give them all of your financial information.

I am a RN who was fired for being a whistleblower. Diversicare had PPE locked up.

I had to fight a nursing home in probate court that illegally held my mother for the insurance money. I'm writing a graphic memoir and it starts with this story. I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten.

This is hands down the best description of the Medicaid spend-down I have ever seen. As America "ages, " more of us will be in this situation. Very sobering. Long-term Care insurance is not always the answer either. And remember the Medicaid 5-year look-back. Another big shock: Most adults do not realize that Medicare (as opposed to Medicaid) does not cover long-term care. Seriously, there is no real solution beyond either (1) saving like crazy and paying for care yourself, or (2) being broke already. This video was superb - thank you for explaining!

I’m worried about my grandparents and I’m so glad you made this video.

Life in nursing homes is awful. We've had several family members go that path and it is just sad.. Life is done at that point so take an exit when you get to that point.

[mikebgood]

I like that she simplified this matter and gave an example.
It's not her fault that our government sucks.

The summation: get a home health aid, remove all valuables & keep contact with the situation, avoid placing elderly in “homes”
