Medicaid Planning for Texas Families
The cost of nursing home care in Texas can exceed $7,000 per month. Without proper planning, families may have to spend down their life savings before qualifying for Medicaid assistance.
Our Medicaid planning strategies help protect your assets while ensuring your loved one receives the care they need. We work within Texas Medicaid rules to maximize asset protection legally and ethically.
Important: Plan Ahead
Medicaid has a 5-year "look-back" period in Texas. Planning ahead gives you more options to protect your family's assets. Don't wait until a crisis to start planning.
