The Medicaid Gap

Denied Medicaid Because of Your Savings? You're Not Alone.

Millions of seniors are caught between too much in savings to qualify for Medicaid long-term care coverage, and not enough to pay for years of professional care on their own. There is a structured path through that gap.

Why It Happens

The Medicaid Asset Limit
Catches Millions in the Middle.

Medicaid long-term care coverage has strict asset limits. If you have more than roughly $2,000 in countable assets — savings, investments, secondary property — you don't qualify. Millions of seniors who did everything right are disqualified simply because they saved responsibly. Too much for Medicaid. Too middle-class for private-pay care that lasts a lifetime.

The Structured Path

What a Properly Structured Plan Can Do

Here's what the compliant, well-established path looks like — based on how many families who go through the AtHome Life Care program experience it.
  • Reframe Your Assets
    When assets are deployed through a structured lifetime care program, many clients find their countable asset level meets Medicaid's requirements. AtHome Life Care coordinates that process as part of the overall care plan.
  • Put Your Home to Work
    Your home — often owned free and clear — is your most powerful tool. A properly structured plan uses home equity to fund professional in-home care while you stay in your home and maintain Medicaid eligibility requirements.
  • Legal, Established, and Used by Millions
    Medicaid planning is legal, well-established, and used by millions of American families. Most people simply don't know the structured path exists — or that their home equity is the key to it.
