LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 2, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — According to retirement crisis expert and author Karl Kim, CFP, CLTC, each year thousands of people are thrust into a “care crisis” when a family member or loved one needs long-term care. The challenge is not only finding the right nursing home; what can be even more challenging is figuring out how to pay for the care – and how to minimize possible damage to the rest of the family. <\/p>\n

“That information isn’t easy to find,” says retirement crisis planner Karl Kim, CFP, CLTC. “Every year I speak with hundreds of adult children and their parents who have gotten bad advice, or who don’t know where to turn for answers. That’s the reason I wrote ‘Don’t Go Broke Paying the Nursing Home.’ Now every Californian can understand what needs to be done to protect their home, cash and retirement accounts.”<\/p>\n

Karl Kim’s book is an easy-to-read quick reference guide. It provides answers in simple language to common questions such as:<\/p>\n

* What information do you need to provide to Medi-Cal?
* Do you need an attorney to submit the application?
* What is the maximum amount a person or couple can have to qualify for Medi-Cal?
* What is the difference between Medicare, Medicaid and Medi-Cal?
* Which assets count and which don’t?
* What is the maximum amount of income a person can have and still qualify?
* When does someone apply?
* How long does the application process take?
* Do you have to be broke to qualify for Medi-Cal?<\/p>\n

“Don’t Go Broke Paying the Nursing Home” (ISBN: 978-0988902619) explains Medi-Cal Recovery procedures.<\/p>\n

“Most people don’t realize Medi-Cal is effectively a loan from the State of California,” explains Kim. “If proper steps aren’t taken, the state will place a claim against the home and other assets.”<\/p>\n

California’s regulations covering the aging population can be difficult to keep up with. That becomes apparent in a care crisis – when what a family has “done wrong” can come back to bite them – financially and logistically. <\/p>\n
