In Michigan, you may be looking at upwards of $8,000 per month for nursing home care, resulting in two-thirds of families with a relative in a nursing home running out of money within the first year.

Proper legal counsel in asset protection planning from a qualified Michigan Elder Law professional can protect most seniors’ assets.

A proper Michigan asset protection plan should be designed for you if you are concerned about the possibility of ending up in long-term care. With the assistance of an Elder Law specialist, you can protect the vast majority of your assets while still qualifying for assistance from Medicaid.
