Long-term care in a nursing home can be extremely expensive, usually costing (on a private-pay basis) somewhere approaching $7,500 per month in Southern Indiana.

Figuring out how to pay for a loved-one's nursing home care can be a daunting challenge, not only because there are usually several different ways to consider paying for that care, but also because of the complex laws involving Medicaid, which is the primary government program that, out of any other, sometimes pays for a person's long-term care.
