STOP: The $400,000 Assisted Living Home Trap

STOP "Protecting" Your Home (Do This Rather).
Nursing home costs are hitting $11,294 monthly in 2025, and the Medicaid 5-Year Lookback is the trap that quietly takes senior homes. If you think a Will or a last-minute gift to your kids will save your house, you're walking into a six-figure monetary ambush.

TL; DR: The majority of senior citizens lose their homes to Medicaid Estate Recovery since they count on "misconceptions" like Wills or joint deeds. This video exposes the $400,000 Assisted Living Home Trap and provides a legal, 3-step blueprint to safeguard your home using Caretaker Agreements, allowed spend-downs, and Medicaid Property Security Trusts (MAPT).

In this 60-minute deep dive, we break down:.
✅ The $400,000 Drain: How a 3-year stay can consume your entire home equity.
✅ The Present Charge: Why providing your home to your kids can ban you from advantages for months.
✅ The Partner Trap: Why your home isn't "safe" just because a partner lives there.
✅ Caregiver Agreements: The legal trick to paying household for care while protecting your assets.
✅ MAPT vs. Deeds: Which "legal container" actually works for the 5-year clock.
