Paying for a nursing home can be extremely expensive, with nursing home care often costing more than $7,500 a month. Understandably, many people are concerned with paying the costs of a nursing home stay. Few people have enough in savings to cover the cost. And if they do, paying for nursing home care may erase a lifetime of savings, leaving nothing for family members.
However, with proper and careful planning, people can receive assistance from Medicaid to pay for a nursing home stay while still retaining much of their assets for themselves and their families.
