“Will the Nursing Home Take My House?”: What You Really Need to Know About Medicaid and Long-Term Care Planning in NY”

You’ve probably heard it before — from a friend, a sibling, or someone online: “You better put your house in a trust, or the nursing home will take it.”

It’s advice that sounds urgent… but rarely comes with a clear explanation.

In this webinar, we’ll cut through the confusion and give you a straightforward look at how long-term care costs and Medicaid planning actually work in upstate New York.

We’ll explain what that “put your house in a trust” advice really means, who it applies to, and when Medicaid planning can help protect your home, your savings, and your family — without panic or pressure.
