Families facing long-term care planning usually have two main priorities. These are getting care for their loved one, and protecting assets that their loved one and their spouse saved over the course of their lives. Moreover, the way to secure care for a loved one often is an application for Indiana Medicaid benefits. In many cases, this includes planning to protect assets for spouses in the community and future needs.
However, this requires detailed planning and records. The best way to achieve this is to work with a team of agents. This team often includes attorneys, doctors, financial planners and tax planners. Also, this means that there is a group of agents that can help with collecting documents. Done properly, the needs of the individual, their spouse, and their family all can be met.
