Are you tired? Burnt out? These feelings will only increase over time, especially if you have no relief. Medicaid can help pay for different types of care, depending on your need and circumstances:

• In-Home Care – this provides assistance during the day, as the primary caregiver remains in charge on the evenings and weekends. You will not relinquish all responsibilities.
• Adult Day Care – provides occasional and/or scheduled breaks for the caregiver, and can also be scheduled around work and vacation schedules.
• Nursing or Assisted Living Care – Full-time relief for the caregiver.

What resources and support are available to address your concerns?

Legal planning can provide the following:

If your loved one is mentally incapacitated, putting a disability plan in place is important in the event they are unable to make decisions for themselves in the future. This will help you avoid the court process in an attempt to be named the legal guardian.

If you are concerned about the cost of quality care, consider the following benefits of legal planning:

• Emergency Medicaid planning to discuss the availability of government benefits
• Ability to make decisions that can preserve some of your assets and pay for long-term health care
• In the event of nursing home care in the future, planning with a Medicaid Trust can safeguard your assets if completed and funded prior to the look back period
