" W. A. Consulting helped me and my husband hold onto thousands of dollars rather than losing it to an insurance company for costly long-term care insurance premiums. We may never need long-term care, but we can rest knowing that if something were to happen, our finances are in order to handle such an event."
-Mrs. M. Dawson Bakersfield, CA




"My wife was in a nursing home for almost a year before I attended one of W.A. Consulting's seminars. I learned that I had unnecessarily spent over $62,000 for her care. W. A. Consulting was able to help me access all of my wife's entitlement rights and I now have a fair share of cost. The knowledge I have gained has saved me thousands of dollars and has allowed me to keep my dignity."
- Mr. R. Collins Taft, CA

Our Knowledge will help you.

Our mission is to educate all about their long-term care entitlement rights and to help protect their assets that have come from a life long work ethic. We understand the unique financial needs of seniors, such as Long-Term Care planning and asset preservation. Because we have chosen to specialize in these areas we make all efforts to give competent and professional advice.


Long-term Care Planning.

It's predicted that around 50% of those who reach age 65 will spend their final days in a nursing home. The average stay is 2.5 year and cost over $50,000 per year and climbing. There are only three ways to pay for this care 1) family assets 2) Medi-Cal or 3) long-term care insurance. Since few seniors can afford long-term care insurance, the typical person will pay these costs until most family assets are gone and then apply for Medi-Cal. However, with proper planning, you can qualify for benefits before your assets are gone. Medi-Cal is not strictly a poverty program. In fact, it is an anti-poverty program designed to helped middle-class seniors. Call W.A. Consulting, Inc. today to find out how you or a loved one can qualify for benefits.


What is Medi-Cal?

Medi-Cal (Medicaid in other states) is an entitlement program created by the Social Security Act, Title XIX. It is the primary provider of long-term care benefits for seniors. However, benefits are not automatic. You must plan in advance in order to get the most benefit possible. Unfortunately, most planners are not well informed or are misinformed regarding this type of planning. W.A. Consulting specializes in Medi-Cal planning and are the premier Medi-Cal planners in Kern County.
