A Nursing Home’s Take on the Need for Medicaid Planning

August 31, 2016 by Saul Kobrick

Compliments of Our Law Firm, Written By: The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys There has long been a misconception that nursing homes and Medicaid planning are on opposing sides of the proverbial fence.
