Average nursing home costs are nearly $11,000 a month. That is almost $132,000 per year.  Even a short stay at a nursing home can be a financial disaster for your family if you don’t prepare for the risk of loss.

For an individual with a chronic long term illness, the average stay in a nursing home is about 2.25 years. An average stay in a nursing home exposes nearly $297,000 in life savings for the unprepared.

Understanding Your Risk

For many families, a loved one with deteriorating health may need nursing home care sooner rather than later. If you’re unsure how to cover the cost of long-term care, call us as soon as possible.

If you or a loved one is unable to continue living at home, you’ll need to find a way to pay for nursing home care. Don’t wait until you’ve exhausted all your resources to call a Medicaid attorney.
