When should I start planning for long-term care?

The sooner, the better. Planning early gives you more options to protect your assets, qualify for Medicaid, and secure the best care. However, if you need immediate assistance, we can help with urgent planning as well.

Can Medicaid pay for nursing home care?

Yes, Medicaid covers nursing home and in-home care costs for those who meet eligibility requirements. Our lawyers help you qualify while preserving your savings.

How can I protect my home from long-term care costs?

Legal tools like Medicaid trusts can prevent your home from being counted as an asset while still allowing you to qualify for benefits. We’ll help you explore the best strategy for your situation.

What is a Medicaid spend-down, and how does it work?

A spend-down allows you to reduce your assets to meet Medicaid’s financial limits legally. We help you use this strategy while keeping as much of your wealth protected as possible.

Do I need a lawyer for long-term care planning?

Medicaid and long-term care laws are complex. A lawyer ensures you qualify for benefits without costly mistakes, protect your assets, and put the right legal documents in place.

What happens if I don’t plan for long-term care?

Without a plan, you or your family may face high out-of-pocket costs, difficulty qualifying for Medicaid, or loss of assets to cover care expenses. Early planning helps avoid these risks.

Can I receive long-term care benefits while keeping assets for my spouse?
