Can pre-planning make it easier for my loved one to receive Medicaid benefits for nursing home care?

Yes. By purchasing a pre-arranged funeral plan you remove cash from your loved one's estate and thereby "spend down" their assets. The government allows funds to be spent on a pre-arranged funeral plan provided a document is signed saying the beneficiary (the one about to enter the nursing home) can not get their money back later by "cashing it in".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
