Nursing Home Payment: Crisis Situations

How to Protect Your Family When Someone is Already Admitted to a Nursing Home or is about to be Placed in a Nursing Home

Discovering that a loved one, like your spouse or parent, needs to move into a nursing home can really catch you off guard. It’s tough news, especially when you start thinking about how much it’s going to cost. In Delaware, the price tag for nursing home care can be between $12,000 to $13,000 each month, and assisted living isn’t much cheaper. That’s a lot of money for any family to handle, and that’s where Medicaid can be a lifesaver. But figuring out where to start and what to do can be overwhelming.
