Primer on Medicaid (Nursing Home)

Medicaid for Long Term Care | Jim Schuster, CELA from National Elder Law Foundation on Vimeo.

IN this little video Jim explains the basics of Medicaid including spend down to $2,000. He also covers excluded assets, such as a home and car. Perhaps the most important point is the very important topic of the protection of financial security for the at-home spouse. By most important I (Jim) mean that the spousal allowance is too little known and too many “community” spouses experience needless financial harm.
Hope you enjoy.
