About Us

Financial Security Designs

Financial Security Designs guides clients on Medi-Cal applications, VA Benefits, Asset Protection and helps with the process of getting admitted to Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing Facilities.

Complimentary Initial Consultation

Understanding how Medicaid/Medi-Cal works in California can be difficult.

Who is eligible? Is it based on income? (Hint: No.) What’s covered?

How one’s family has situated their assets and their family member’s medical needs all play a role in the Medi-Cal eligibility process.

To qualify, there are specific medical and financial eligibility requirements. Certain assets are exempt from the Medi-Cal eligibility process, including a retirement account, a primary automobile, personal property, and a primary residence (up to a fixed value).

With proper gifting and/or re-positioning of assets, eldercare planning can be painless with proper and experienced guidance.

Financial Security Designs has been based in San Diego, California, proudly serving California Families and Veterans in the process of Medi-Cal Eligibility and VA Benefits in California for over 25 years.

LET’S CHAT

He is the area Director of the San Diego North Advisory Board of the California Care Planning Council. This State council is a single source of community care providers and advisers who help the public deal with their retirement and eldercare needs.

When he’s not working, Tony loves to be outdoors and volunteering his time. He’s been the Team Leader for Poway Community Emergency Response Team for over 10 years. He is also active in the Poway Rodeo Committee and assists with staging the horses for the annual Poway Parade.
