Just adding to this post:
If you are on Medicare but not Medicaid (MediCal), the out-of-pocket cost for a nursing home might be prohibitive. You could lose your retirement nest-egg, lifesavings, investments, or your home. Plus, a lien might be placed against property or accounts. Awareness of potential healthcare needs is difficult, but one should anticipate them by seeking legal advice to avoid financial disaster.
Should you be hospitalized, you must be an “in-patient” for 3 days before you become eligible for Medicare payments to a nursing home. Here is a quirk: Should you be “Observation Status”, Medicare does not pay for nursing home care. Ask your doctor or nurse to provide you with your status.
