Medical Assistance Planning

If you or your spouse require the care of a skilled nursing home, Attorney James A. Ritter will assist you with the proper legal advice to protect some of your largest assets with medical assistance planning.

The cost of a skilled nursing home is approximately $120,000 per year! The reality is that most elderly people cannot afford to pay for an extended stay in a nursing home. With the guidance of James A. Ritter, an attorney experienced in the area of Medical Assistance Planning, the financial burden of skilled care can be significantly reduced.

For a couple with one spouse admitted to a nursing home but the other is not, certain assets can be protected such as:

• Private Residence (up to $550,000)
• Irrevocable Burial Account (up to $11,000)
• One Automobile

Contact Attorney James A. Ritter before or at the time of admission to a nursing home to obtain the correct legal advice to avoid the loss of your significant assets.
