Medicaid Rules
Today, one out of nine Americans is over age 65 and 7% of the over 65 population is in a nursing home. Because of longer life expectancies the proportion of older persons in the population is rapidly increasing.
According to the Michigan Department of Human Services, the average monthly cost of nursing home care in Michigan for 2008 is $6,191.
At an average cost of more than $6,000 per month, even a relatively short term stay at a nursing home care can wipe out all of a family’s resources.
All too often, families with elderly persons in need of long term care don’t seek qualified counsel until they’ve nearly exhausted all of their resources.
With their savings gone, 7 out of 10 of every of Michigan's nursing home residents end up using the Medicaid Program to help pay for their care.
