Many people are under the false assumption that Medicare will pay their long-term care expenses. That is false! If you or your parents require assisted living or nursing home care, you have only three options: privately pay for these services; hope the long-term care insurance you’ve purchased, if any, will pay for these services; or try to qualify for Medicaid.
 
For those in their late sixties or early seventies, purchasing long-term care insurance is probably not a viable option. That leaves only the other two options. The average cost of a nursing home in Georgia is approximately $6,000.00 per month. At that rate, it won’t take long for the wealth you’ve accumulated over your lifetime to be consumed.
 
Is there a way to protect your assets from being devoured?  Yes, through proper planning you can protect your assets.
