Medicaid & Nursing Home Costs: What Illinois Families Need to Know

Will nursing home care deplete your family's savings?

When an aging parent or spouse needs long-term care, families often face overwhelming questions about costs, Medicaid eligibility, and protecting their financial future.

Will Medicaid help pay for nursing home care? Can your loved one keep their home? Does everything have to be spent before qualifying for assistance?

Join Illinois attorney and social worker Joerika Stitt, Esq., for a FREE virtual workshop designed to help South Suburban families better understand Medicaid and long-term care planning.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• How Medicaid may help cover qualifying nursing home care.

• How income, savings, and property can affect Medicaid eligibility.

• Financial protections available when one spouse needs nursing home care.

• The five-year Medicaid look-back rule and common planning mistakes.

• Important considerations involving the family home, asset exemptions, and estate recovery.

• Why planning before a long-term care crisis can make a difference.
