How Medicaid Planning works
People who enter a nursing home usually pay for it in one of three ways; (1) with their own resources, (2) with long term care insurance, or (3) with government assistance—Medicaid, called “TennCare” here in Tennessee. Generally, only the well-to-do can pay for an extended period of nursing home care with private resources, because nursing home care is very expensive. For example, in the Nashville area in 2022, a private room in a nursing home averaged about $90,000 a year. And, of course, the cost goes up each year.
