Elder LawElder law involves a wide range of practice areas, including estate planning, asset preservation, Medicaid planning, nursing home planning and many more. But essentially it is about planning ahead to make sure you can remain independent for as long as possible, protect your assets against the high cost of long-term care, and ensure that you will be well cared for in the event of incapacity. In essence, elder law can give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are prepared for what the future holds. At Allender & Allender, we have helped hundreds of seniors and the people who love them cope with the legal, financial and physical issues problems that come with growing older. We welcome the opportunity to do the same for you or someone you love. Medicaid PlanningAmericans are living longer than ever before. And while you may not want to think about it right now, the reality is that many elderly people eventually require long-term care. In fact, nearly one in two women and one in four men find themselves in nursing homes at some point in their lives. The cost of nursing home care already averages between five and eight thousand dollars per month and continues to climb ever higher. Worse, Medicare will not pay for it, which explains, in part, why two out of three families run out of money within the first year of a prolonged nursing home stay. Fortunately, at Allender & Allender, we can help you qualify for assistance from Medicaid, without “spending down” all your income or giving up most if not all of your assets. An important fact to remember is this: Medicaid laws are continuously changing, and the further you plan ahead, the more options you will have. However, even if you or a loved one is already in a nursing home, we can use a number of legal provisions to help you get the Medicaid benefits you may be entitled to.
