Nursing home care in Pennsylvania typically costs from $5,500 - $7,500 per month. Medicare and private health insurance pay little or none of the cost. Few can afford to cover this staggering expense out of pocket without soon becoming impoverished. Only then does the government, through the Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program, step in to help. The law firm of Vasiliadis & Associates protects seniors and their families against financially ruinous nursing home costs and confiscatory death taxes. They do this through the carefully planned use of trusts, annuities, properly timed asset transfers, and other strategies and measures designed to achieve Medicaid eligibility, protect a substantial part of an estate for one’s family, and assure continued access to the best available care.
