Long Term Care is one of the Fastest Growing Medical Fields. Find out how to be Financially Prepared

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Baby Boomers are reaching the age when they need long term care, and many do not have financial plans in place to cover its cost. This can become a burden on the entire family, and most people do not know what financial options are available to them. Medicare and Medicaid are difficult to understand, and available benefits go unused.  Recently there have been many drastic changes involving Medicare, Medicaid, and nursing home benefits.  Naked in the Nursing Home, the newest book by Harold Lustig, is due out in April and can answer the above questions and many others you may have about financial planning for long term care.  These changes are so revolutionary that estate and financial plans will need to be revisited.
Old estate and financial plans are based on old information and ideas which are now totally antiquated.  This is the time to start rethinking financial planning, and it will pay—literally--in the future to be informed about available options.
Naked in the Nursing Home provides readers with easy to implement plans to help protect their assets, find the most appropriate insurance for their needs, learn about wartime veteran long term care benefits, protect valuable government benefits for nursing home care, and ensure safety of the elderly. Harold Lustig also provides clear action steps for readers to take when choosing a nursing home, when to cover health care costs with Medicare and Medicaid, and ways to start preparing now for future financial burdens.
