Medicaid Planning - Protecting You Against Life's Risks

NOTE: This information has been provided by Stronghold Financial, a private company providing support navigating the Arizona Medicaid (ALTCS) program.

The Problem:

Simply put, long-term care (LTC) is the largest financial risk you will face as you age.

4-out-of-5 people over the age of 65 will need LTC in their lifetime
The average cost for LTC is $8,000/month but can exceed $20,000/month in certain cases.

The cost of LTC has historically increased 3-5% per year.

The Solution:

Most families tell us they can’t afford to pay the high costs of LTC without risking their life savings. The good news is Medicaid LTC can drastically reduce the share of LTC costs you and your family will have to pay should the need arise for LTC – for people who are found medically and financially eligible for the program.

In general, Medicaid LTC will pay the difference between your income and your cost of care. Medicaid will also allow you to retain some of your income for personal needs, and shift some of your income to your spouse if you're married.

While Medicaid LTC has strict rules about the amount of income and assets applicants can have in order to be eligible, there are effective and legal strategies we can use for both single and married individuals to get you or your loved one qualified – fast!

Stronghold Financial specializes in re-positioning assets and income to preserve 100% of these resources for the healthy spouse or 50-75% for the estate’s beneficiaries (children, grandchildren, etc.). Our financial strategies are federally approved and 100% safe and legal. Best of all, our hands-on expertise can provide Medicaid LTC financial qualification in an average of three weeks versus the industry average of five months!
