The most detailed, plain-English guide I've found to the rules so far is called How to Protect Your Family's Assets From Devastating Nursing Home Costs. --Ron Lieber article in The New York Times (June 30, 2017) I recommend K. Gabriel Heiser's comprehensive and accessible book, How to Protect Your Family's Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (Phylius Press). The book is not intended to replace an attorney specializing in Medicaid, but it will provide you with valuable information you will need to have worthwhile discussions with an attorney ---Reviewed by Elliot Raphaelson, for The Chicago Tribune (2018) I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to get quickly up to speed when the need arises because a friend or family member is facing nursing home expenses...or who wants to think ahead to that possible need. --Reviewed by Natalie B. Choate, nationally recognized attorney and America's leading speaker on retirement planning; author of Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits
