If you or a loved one goes into a nursing home (skilled nursing facility), the cost can range anywhere from $4,500-- to $7,500 per month! Neither Medi-Care nor health insurance pays for skilled nursing care. Through careful planning, in most cases, you can be eligible for Medi-Cal to pay for all or part of your nursing home care, you may protect and preserve your assets which you have worked a lifetime to acquire from a Medi-Cal Estate Claim and the well spouse (the spouse at home) can retain all of his / her income, or all or part of the income from the spouse in the nursing home can be reallocated to the well spouse. Also, you are allowed to retain a home of any value as well as other assets and still be eligible for Medi-Cal.
