Long Term Care Planning

Long-term care refers to services people may need over an extended period—help with daily activities at home, assisted living, or skilled nursing. Costs in California can be substantial, so planning ahead matters.

Legal planning often includes durable powers of attorney and health care directives so someone you trust can coordinate care and finances if you cannot. A trust may help manage assets and successor trusteeship.

Medi-Cal and other programs may help pay for care for those who qualify, but eligibility rules are complex. Our firm’s public benefits planning practice addresses how to plan without unnecessary loss of benefits.

Long-term care insurance, life insurance with riders, and other funding strategies are options to discuss with financial and insurance professionals as part of an overall plan.
