Medicaid Planning Services

Protect What Matters Most

The cost of long-term nursing home care in Missouri averages more than $7,000 per month. Without a plan, families are often forced to spend down their life savings before qualifying for Medicaid. Our firm helps clients protect assets, preserve independence, and ensure loved ones receive the care they need—without losing everything they’ve worked for.

Two Paths to Planning

Proactive Medicaid Planning

The best time to plan is before care is needed. With the right tools, such as Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts and strategic transfers, families can:

Shield assets well in advance of a crisis
Maintain eligibility when care becomes necessary
Provide peace of mind for both spouses and children

By starting early, you keep more control over your finances and protect your family’s legacy.

Emergency medicaid Planning

If nursing home care is needed right now, it’s not necessarily too late. Even when families feel like they must “spend everything down,” there may be emergency strategies available to:

Qualify quickly for benefits
Redirect resources to protect a healthy spouse
Cover the immediate costs of care without draining savings

We move swiftly to help you navigate urgent Medicaid eligibility requirements.

Why Timing Matters

Medicaid has a five-year look-back period for certain transfers. Acting early expands your options—but even in crisis situations, legal tools and planning can protect significant assets. Every month matters, so understanding your options now is critical.
