Nursing Home Expenses

In Connecticut, as of 2021, a nursing home costs on average about $456/day for a semiprivate room. That's more than $13,680 a month! This year, this figure increased about 2.6%. (Unfortunately, Connecticut is routinely the 2nd or 3rd most expensive state in the nation for nursing home care.)
This is why you must start planning early.
There are ways to protect all that you've earned so it doesn't all go to the nursing home. But first you need to understand the rules and timing of Medicaid planning.
