Costly nursing home payments can be avoided either with advanced planning (more than five years before entering the nursing home) or emergency planning when a loved one is either in a nursing home now or will enter one soon. Our attorneys work to identify protectable assets and protect as much of your legacy as possible for the spouse/family, while guaranteeing access to skilled care for the rest of your life. There are numerous assets which are protected and exempt from spending requirements, so you should never assume that you cannot receive Medicaid, no matter what your assets are.
We also help to reduce or eliminate penalties arising from transfers or gifts that took place before the need for nursing home care, and assist in collecting and submitting the varied documentation needed to apply for Medicaid Long Term Care
