The “Crisis” in Crisis Planning
A sudden fall. A hospital discharge.
A doctor says the words no family is ready for: “skilled nursing.”
And now, the clock is running.
​​
Don’t get blindsided.
With smart crisis planning, many families can protect key assets, reduce chaos, and pursue the care their loved one needs—without guesswork, panic, or preventable mistakes.

Call for a free consultation and get a clear, steady plan—fast.
Your Path Forward
If any of these are true, it’s time to call:​
​
-
Nursing home care is being discussed (or has begun)
-
A loved one is in the hospital or rehab and discharge planning has started
-
A spouse is staying at home and worried about “losing everything"
-
You’ve been told you’re “over-resourced” for Medicaid
-
Someone already made gifts/transfers and you’re not sure what that means​
​
If your situation feels urgent, you’re not alone. This is where speed and precision matter most.
What Our Team Does
(In Plain English)
Most people assume Medicaid is simple: apply, qualify, done.
In reality, the rules can be strict, the paperwork intense, and timing is everything—especially because Medicaid scrutinizes past transfers and may impose penalties if things are done out of order. This can mean:
-
Denial of benefits
-
Forced spend-down of nearly all assets
-
Costly delays in coverage
​
Translation: Especially when speed is a priority, the wrong move can cost months of eligibility—and tens of thousands of dollars. However, proper planning can preserve a significant portion of assets while achieving eligibility.​
