“Honey, I met with an Attorney-CPA who said:

  • We do not have to lose our home.
  • We do not have to wait five years to qualify for Illinois Medicaid.
  • We do not have to give away our assets to protect them,”


… Dad said in a relieved way.

Suddenly, my parents’ future looked brighter. This is a common sentiment we see in many of our clients’ cases. We can provide you with a similar bright outlook.

The average cost of a nursing home in Illinois may be in the range of $6,000-$10,000 per month or more. Who can afford that? Most individuals who are forced to private pay for their nursing home care will see their life savings drained in a matter of months, and you might not be able to keep your home or leave your children an inheritance as a result.

The rules for Medicaid in Illinois are a minefield for the inexperienced. Competent, experienced legal counsel can guide you in your dealings with the State and ensure that you are protected.
