Our experienced team is dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of Medicaid eligibility and planning, ensuring you or your loved ones can access the care needed without exhausting your financial resources.

Understanding Medicaid and Nursing Home Coverage

Medicaid is a federal and state program that can help pay for long-term care costs, including nursing home expenses. However, qualifying for Medicaid can be complex, with stringent asset and income limits in place.

Strategies for Medicaid Eligibility

1. Asset Planning: Structuring your assets to meet Medicaid eligibility requirements while preserving wealth.
2. Income Trusts: Utilizing trusts to legally manage income levels to qualify for Medicaid.
3. Spousal Protections: Implementing strategies to protect the financial well-being of a non-applicant spouse.
4. Gifting and Asset Transfer Rules: Navigating the look-back period and transfer penalties to avoid disqualification.

Customizing Your Medicaid Planning

Our approach includes:

Personalized Consultation: Understanding your unique financial situation and long-term care needs.
Tailored Medicaid Planning: Developing a customized plan to optimize Medicaid eligibility and asset protection.
Ongoing Support and Adjustments: Adapting your plan as laws change and as your personal circumstances evolve.
