What is the worst thing I can do if either my spouse, parent or I need long-term care?
The worst thing you can do is assume what you can or cannot do or assume that Medi-Cal will not be available to you, without first consulting with an elder law attorney. This area of law is obscure, confusing and often irrational. Many attorneys who do no practice elder law are not able to give you competent advice. Don’t lose the family home and savings to a nursing home due to poor advice or planning.
