The Importance Of Having A Plan
Long-term elder care is very expensive. If you wish to qualify for Medicaid, you need to start managing your assets today. If you give away or spend down assets within the five-year Medicaid Look-Back Period, you will not qualify – you may also incur penalties. The sooner you begin planning for home care, assisted living or a nursing home, the better. It gives you more power to manage your finances, protect your assets and set up the future you imagine for your golden years.
When Should You Start To Plan For Nursing Home Care?
It’s never too soon to start planning for long-term care. Our estate planning lawyers will evaluate long-term planning care options as part of our comprehensive estate planning services. Our goal for all of our clients is to protect their assets and wealth for future generations. Whether we are customizing an estate plan or planning for long-term nursing home care, we do so keeping these asset protection goals in mind.
Medicaid applications will look back five years to determine eligibility for Medicaid coverage. When planning ahead to utilize Medicaid benefits, having more time helps us to anticipate your long-term care needs and help you secure eligibility for long-term care benefits.
Why Work With A Board-Certified Professional?
Both of our lawyers are board-certified in elder law – only about 60 attorneys in all of Pennsylvania hold this accreditation. It is a testament to their advanced training and their commitment to helping senior citizens across the state. We can connect you to private and public resources that you might not otherwise find. Having worked with thousands of senior citizens and their loved ones, we know how to create the plan that best fits your short-term and long-term needs.
