"The biggest mistake we made was waiting another month just because we were overwhelmed."

Rick and Barbara G.

"We had been told to spend down. I am glad I spoke to Abby before assuming that was the only option."

Kendra S.

"The most helpful part was knowing what not to do. We were about to make decisions with the house and accounts that could have created bigger problems."

Michael M.

"The facility made it sound like there was only one path: keep paying privately until the money was gone. I am glad we checked before accepting that."

Karen T.

"We were overwhelmed. Abby slowed the situation down, explained the Medicaid issues in plain English, and helped us understand what could be reviewed before we spent more."

Before You Pay Anyone

The Most Important Thing We'll Ever Tell You Might Be "You Don't Need Us"

Some families genuinely cannot benefit from Medicaid planning. If that is you, the assessment will say so, and you will never hear a sales pitch. We'd rather tell fifty families the truth than sell one family something useless.

The Reality

Most Families Spend Down Before Anyone Checks What Can Be Saved

When a parent enters a nursing home, families are told to spend until Medicaid kicks in. Sometimes that's the right call. But many families drain savings or sell property without anyone ever checking whether the home, a spouse's income, or other assets could have been legally protected.

This assessment answers one question fast: Is there still enough at stake to justify planning?

Start the Assessment

Not everything counts against you.

Ohio Medicaid treats a home, a vehicle, and personal property differently than cash. Families often assume everything must go. It doesn't.

A spouse at home changes everything.

If one spouse stays home, Ohio law protects specific income and assets for them, but the protections must be claimed correctly. They are not automatic.

"Safe" today can be taken later.

The home is often exempt during life, then exposed to Medicaid estate recovery after death, unless the right planning happens first.

A signature decides the outcome.

If a parent loses capacity, options narrow fast. A valid power of attorney is frequently the difference between protecting assets and watching them go.

FAQ

Common Questions

My mom is already in the nursing home. Isn't it too late?

Not necessarily. Ohio protections can still apply after care begins, especially where there is a spouse at home or a house. The assessment is how you find out.

Is this a scam? You're asking about my parents' money.

Fair question. This field attracts predators, and you should be suspicious. Here is what is checkable: Abby N. Wilson is a licensed Ohio attorney. You can verify her at the Supreme Court of Ohio's public attorney directory under Reg. No. 0092614. The assessment asks for ranges, not account numbers. And attorneys are bound by confidentiality rules that no lead-generation website is.

What does it cost?

The assessment and the attorney call are free. If planning can help and you want to proceed, you will get one flat fee in writing before you commit a dollar. No hourly billing, no surprises. Families routinely find the fee is a small fraction of what planning may preserve.

Can't we just give the house to the kids?

Please don't, not before you talk to someone. DIY transfers are the number one way families accidentally trigger Medicaid penalties that cost more than the asset was worth. This is exactly the kind of mistake a 2-minute check prevents.

We're not ready to hire a lawyer.

You don't need to be. You need to know your options and your deadline. That is free. Deciding what to do about it can come later, but the information can't, because the costs run monthly either way.
