For most of us a cold, or even the flu, poses nothing more than a minor inconvenience, some time at home in bed, and maybe a trip to see your physician. For residents and tenants in long-term care settings, however, coming down with the flu can be life threatening. Compromised immune systems and respiratory or cardiac issues can become more than just a challenge. Because of this, it is important to think about how a safe environment can be maintained while at the same time allowing for visitors and social activities.

A Miller Trust is an irrevocable trust established on or before August 10, 1993, for the benefit of an individual and is used to help pay the cost of nursing facility care. The person residing in the nursing facility is designated as the beneficiary, and after the beneficiary’s death, all remaining amounts, up to the amount of Medicaid paid for the beneficiary, are paid to the State, the residuary beneficiary. Once a trust is established, a bank account for monies associated with the trust can be opened. Only certain funds, including the beneficiary’s earned and unearned income, can be deposited into the Miller Trust account. A trustee, usually a spouse or family member, is the person who administers the trust and pays out money.
