Don’t Go Broke In the Nursing Home!

FREE ONLINE WORKSHOPS


Thursday, September 28, 2023 @ 4PM and 6:00 PM CST

112 E Sale St, Tuscola, IL 61953

Sure, you’ve saved for a rainy day … but long-term care costs can be a never-ending monsoon season that can wipe you out financially – your retirement savings, your home … you could lose it all. 

In fact, the single most common financial outcome when someone enters a nursing home is that they start out paying their own way and end up flat broke and on Medicaid.  Once they’re in Illinois, they have to try to somehow live on only $30 a month.  The rest of their income goes to pay for their care.

That’s the Government’s Plan for You,

unless you take the bull by the horns and change it. Think it will never happen to you? Think again! Sad but true.

If you make it to age

65

there’s almost a 50% chance you will end up in a long-term care facility

If you make it to age

75

there’s a 70% chance you will end up in a long-term care facility


Don’t Go Broke In the Nursing Home!

FREE ONLINE WORKSHOPS

You Will Learn:

  • How to guarantee that you won’t go broke in a nursing home
  • How to guarantee that you can leave an inheritance for your loved ones (assuming you could have otherwise)
  • Why traditional estate planning (wills and even living trusts) doesn’t work … and why you need something more
  • Why your current power of attorney for property may fail you when you need it most, and end up costing you time and money
  • How veterans and their widowed spouses can qualify for benefits to help pay for care in any setting … even at home, with family caregivers
  • Why it’s wiser to plan early, but never too late to plan if there are assets left to protect … even for someone who is already a current nursing home resident!
  • How the right planning can bust the “Medicaid look-back myth”
  • Why this planning isn’t for amateurs, and how what you don’t know about the laws and regulations can really hurt you
