“My loved one is in a nursing home, is it too late?” The simple answer is no, it is not too late! The only time it is too late is when there are no assets available or when all of the assets were previously gifted. If the family member in the nursing home still has assets, it is not too late.

The confusion in many of these cases arises because most individuals believe that because the nursing home didn’t mention that anything could be done, that means that nothing can be done. Unfortunately, it is not the nursing homes business office’s job to tell a family how to protect assets. It is their job to make sure that they provide great care for their residents and get paid for their services. To be completely honest, most of them do not even realize that anything can be done because when you look at the law on its face, it doesn’t really mention anything about it. You have to dig a bit deeper!
