Finding Affordable Nursing Home Care
Many people are surprised to learn that Medicare only covers a small amount of nursing home care. Typically there are 20 days of full nursing home coverage after at least three days in a hospital and up to 80 days of partial coverage. After that patients pay out-of-pocket or apply for Medicaid coverage.
The private-pay and Medicaid rates at nursing homes are often different, and some nursing homes will encourage you to commit your personal assets to a private pay program without explaining that you can use Medicaid instead — without bankrupting yourself.
Scenarios like this are what the experienced elder law attorneys at BRMM are here to help with. Each individual situation is unique and Medicaid rules change often, so what applies to your friends or neighbors may not apply to you and your situation. Our elder law attorneys can find a solution that works for you. We are fully versed in Medicaid law and how to navigate the complicated government forms and procedures to maximize the benefits you deserve.
How Our Nursing Home Planning Attorneys Can Help You
Here's how we can assist you:
- Personalized Consultation: We start with a thorough consultation to understand your unique situation, goals, and concerns. This allows us to tailor our legal services to meet your specific needs and ensure the best possible outcome for you and your family.
- Strategic Planning: We will develop a customized nursing home planning strategy that addresses your financial and healthcare needs. This includes creating and implementing legal documents, exploring Medicaid eligibility, and integrating long-term care insurance into your plan. We ensure that all aspects of your plan work together seamlessly to protect your assets and provide for your loved ones.
- Legal Document Preparation: Accurate and legally sound documentation is essential in nursing home planning. We will design and review all necessary documents, including powers of attorney, guardianships, wills, and trusts.
- Medicaid Application Assistance: Applying for Medicaid can be a daunting process, with strict eligibility requirements and extensive documentation needed. We assist with every step of the Medicaid application process, from gathering and organizing required documents to completing and submitting the application.
- Ongoing Support: Nursing home planning is not a one-time event but an ongoing process that could require adjustments as circumstances change. Our attorneys provide continuous support, monitoring your plan and making necessary updates to address changes in laws, financial situations, or personal needs.
- Advocacy and Representation: Should any disputes or issues arise, our attorneys are prepared to advocate on your behalf. Whether it's negotiating with nursing home facilities, addressing Medicaid disputes, or resolving family conflicts, we are committed to defending your interests and ensuring your loved ones receive the care they need.
Contact Our Nursing Home Planning Attorney in Troy Today
A smart move is to meet with an elder law attorney long before you or your loved one needs a nursing home so your plan is set well in advance. Sometimes a move into a nursing home is an expected step and other times it happens fairly quickly after an accident or stroke. Either way, the process can be overwhelming and emotional, so having a plan in place before you need it makes the move a little easier.
Our Troy nursing home planning lawyers are here to help you get a nursing home plan in place. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
