PROTECT THE ONES YOU LOVE

Nelson Elder Care Law

Did you work all of your life and save your money to give it to a nursing home or the state? Of course not!

Many of us worked hard all of our lives to take care of our family and build a nest egg for a comfortable, but not lavish, retirement. However, frequently as we age, it is not uncommon for a serious illness or injury to occur.

When this happens, is when most people discover that Medicare doesn’t cover the care they need. It is shocking. To have someone come into your home to help care for you costs about $25 per hour. If you need to move to an assisted living community, those typically start at $3000 per month. The one place that none of us wants to go is the nursing home and that is the most expensive at $8000 per month. At these rates, you can see how you could spend your life savings very quickly.
