Medi-Cal Specialist for Nursing Home Care

Although income is an important factor in determining the “share of cost” to be  paid  to  the  nursing  facility,  it is not a determining factor for Medi-Cal qualification.

Myth 3:  I have too much income to qualify.

Many professionals will tell you  that  you  need to “spend down”,  sell your home, or divide your estate.   This is simply not true.   Anyone giving such advice is not familiar with the recent Medi-Cal rules.  Heeding such advice could make you ineligible for Medi-Cal benefits.  It is true that you do need to be within the Asset Limitations, but there are better ways than “spending down” your hard earned wealth to reach them.  Many things can be done to preserve your assets, safeguard your income, and still qualify for Medi-Cal.  This is our specialty.
