Welcome to Platinum Financial Planning, Inc.
America is aging and medical technology is improving at a
rapid pace. Unfortunately, the two combined do not equate to
a long, quality of life. In many areas of the country, nursing
homes have substantial waiting lists and the backlog is growing.
This upward pressure on nursing home beds is driving the average
monthly cost of a nursing home through the roof.
In the Central Florida area, where our firm is located, the
average monthly cost of an acceptable nursing home facility
is $5,000.00 and rising. In some areas of the country, especially
the populated N.E., the average monthly cost of a nursing home
may exceed $10,000.00. One must be very wealthy to handle this
type of monthly expense without substantial asset depletion.
Most families thrust into the situation of last minute decisions
on how to fund nursing home costs are led to believe the only
course of action is to pay out of pocket until the patient
and spouse are virtually destitute and eligible for the MEDICAID
ICP (Institutional Care Program).
Nothing could be further from the truth!
