Product Description
Get the best care in the right place, for the right price -- this book shows you how!
Finding the right long-term care often means making difficult decisions during difficult times. Long-Term Care helps you understand the alternatives to nursing facilities and shows you how to find the best care you can afford.
With Long-Term Care you'll be able to:
evaluate long-term care insurance
arrange home care
explore options beyond nursing homes
choose a nursing facility
get the most out of Medicare, Medicaid and other benefit programs
protect your assets, and
recognize and prevent elder fraud.
The completely updated 7th edition has an all-new chapter on long-term care insurance and updated coverage of Medicaid. It also includes up-to-date benefit numbers, laws and taxes, and revised information on veterans' benefits.
With sensitivity and clarity, Attorney Joseph Matthews gives you everything you need to help plan for and make the best arrangements for long-term care.

Another winner from Nolo Press March 24, 2007

If you need legal knowledge, and can find a Nolo Press book that covers the topic, just buy it. You won't go wrong. This book is no exception.
An elderly family member is facing choices about whether to enter long term care. We needed to know all the ins and outs of various options, including Medicaid, Medicare, and veterans benefits. This book covers everthing of importance in clear, concise text.
One problem in a situation like this is that the "experts", like the case managers and social workers at hospitals and nursing homes, seldom have the time or incentive to tell you the whole story. It's up to you to figure out what your options are, and what protections you have. This book covers all of the bases in clear, understandable language.
Important note: several laws and regulations regarding transfer of assets and Medicaid/MediCal coverage eligability changed in early 2006. Make sure you understand the current laws. This book was published in late 2006 and is very up-to-date.
Like I said, another winner from Nolo.

I am in the middle of dealing with a failing parent. I have consulted with all the recommended experts (accountants, multiple attorneys, social workers, private care managers, all the medical people). This book lays out clearly and very helpfully what I had hoped all the attorneys would've, but didn't. This book gives you the information you need to make your own decisions, rather than relying the 'experts' to decide for you. Worth every penny and the time taken to read it.
Everyone Should Read This April 18, 2010

I am a senior citizen. That's the age you might think this book should be read. I wish everyone would read it by the time they are 30 years old, start doing research for their future, and, can understand why they need to begin a savings account for thier future.
I had no idea what a CCRC was before I purchased this book. I now live in one, and, believe that I am extremely lucky to be here. There is so much helpful information in this book. Everyone would benefit from it.
