The US government offers a program for elders and the disabled called Medicaid. Medicaid will pay for custodial nursing home care that Medicare and other supplement plans will not cover. However, to qualify for Medicaid, an individual must meet a low asset and income standard. Therefore, an individual must spend down all of his or her assets first.

Early Medicaid Planning Is Key
It is important to seek Medicaid planning advice because without such advice, an individual will be required to spend down the majority of his or her assets prior to being eligible for Medicaid.
Advanced planning is the most important facet to protecting an individual's assets from being considered by Medicaid as available resources. Essentially, Medicaid has a "look back" period; the agency will look back for a period of five years prior to the date of the Medicaid application and disqualify the applicant for any transfers made during that period of time.
