Medicare and Medi-Cal are two completely separate programs that are often confused for one another. Medicare is a federal benefit program. Medi-Cal is a program of the state of California. Medicare does not assist families with paying for long-term care; Medi-Cal does. But, Medicare is a tremendously beneficial program that many seniors rely on as they grow older and travel through the different levels within the continuum of care.

Having the experienced guidance of someone who understands what Medicare can do for you can help you maximize your benefits. Given the ever-rising costs of senior care, maximizing your benefits can help minimize the impact on family finances and even work to help you protect the family home.

Protecting your home and other assets can help you meet the challenges of funding long-term care. Too many people enter the continuum of care without a plan to protect their assets and property. Medicare and Medi-Cal can help you cover the costs of high quality care without depleting your assets or forcing you to rely on the generosity of loved ones. Let Medicare and Medi-Cal help you overcome the increasing costs of long-term care.
