A national Crisis: families and professionals need to know


The Rights of the Spouse

of a Nursing Home Patient


The spouse of the nursing home resident has rights granted by law:

 

        •      The right to keep your home and car

        •      The right to keep your life-savings

        •      The right to have enough income to live on

        •      The right to good care for your spouse

        •      The right to provide for your family as you wish

        •      The right to legal representation

        •      The right to have peace of mind



Congress has passed laws to protect spouses from impoverishment. But, everywhere spouses are paying the staggering cost of nursing home risking loss of their life-savings and homes. Their rights are lost through ignorance, misinformation or foolishness. This is an unnecessary national crisis.


You can end this crisis now. Protect yourself and your family. Help your neighbor who does not know. Get good care and pay for it without going broke. Do not make another nursing home payment until you know your rights.Call Jim and get help now.
