POOLED TRUST SCENARIOS:
Sarah
Sarah is an 85 year old woman with $200,000 in assets, including the value of her modest condo. She has just recently been placed in a nursing home because of her increasing frailty and dementia. Her family has used the Pooled Trust to protect her assets while Medicaid pays her bill to the nursing home at a rate significantly below the private pay rate. Additional services such as a private room, case manager and additional care, which are not covered by Medicaid, are being paid from the Pooled Trust. When Sarah dies the Trust will repay
Medicaid, and her remaining assets will go to the family listed in the Pooled Trust Agreement. As a result Sarah is able to obtain additional services not covered by Medicaid, save on the cost of nursing home care, and pass money on to her loved ones.
Joe
Joe is a 45-year old carpenter who had a serious accident and multiple injuries while working on a job. His injury claim was settled for $1,000,000. After extensive hospitalization and therapy, Joe was able to go home. Joe has not worked for four years due to his unstable medical condition, still has on-going doctor visits, and has had to hire caregivers for ten hours a day to assist his wife with his care. Just forty-eight months after the accident, Joe’s monies have been depleted due to his substantial healthcare costs and home care expenses. Joe did not know about a Pooled Trust.

Why consider a Special Needs Pooled Trust:
- You meet Social Security’s definition of “disabled” if your medical condition renders you unable to engage in substantial employment.
- Placed in a Pooled Trust, your funds can supplement your current public benefits and still have Medicaid pay the cost of a nursing home, or remain at home, receiving other long-term care covered by Medicaid. This allows for the trust to pay for a private room, therapies, a T.V., a vehicle, education and more.
- Upon death, you can leave funds to others, after certain public benefits are reimbursed for the care they provided.
- Alpert JFS can provide, supervise and facilitate additional services, including case management, companion and home health services, as needs arise.
