Read MoreMeet Charlie and Fran. They have lived on their family farm for 50+ years. To ensure their assets are safe for future generations, Charlie and Fran consulted with a Certified Medicaid Planner. Charlie and Fran have 3 children, 9 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. They have worked hard and have enjoyed 50+ years of life on their family farm. This place is important to their entire family. Knowing that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of long-term care (LTC), Charlie and Fran needed guidance and accurate information to prepare for the uncertain future. Whether they suddenly needed LTC, or if LTC was years away, Charlie and Fran wanted to ensure future generations can enjoy the things they worked hard for their entire life including the farm.Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, and Colorados Medicaid Program. Medicaid helps with in-home care, assisted living, and nursing facility care. Most Colorado Seniors who need help paying for LTC feel they will not qualify for Medicaid because they have too much income or too many assets. In reality, many could qualify if they had the information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a Certified Medicaid Planner (CMP) designation. The role of a CMP is to assist, correct, and complete a Medicaid application. A CMP works with the Department of Human Services to gain approval for LTC Medicaid. Incomplete or inaccurate advice often causes Seniors to think that spend down is the only way to qualify for LTC Medicaid. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary spend down and/or liquidation of the limited assets Seniors have worked a lifetime to obtain.There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, the Medicaid guidelines afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with a CMP who specializes in LTC can help you, your family, or a loved one to file a successful application and qualify for LTC Medicaid.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Stacy Osborone, MBA, CMP .
