MEDICAID PLANNING

"Failure to properly plan for a nursing home stay well in advance might cost approximately $5,500 in additional nursing home costs each month. This works out to about $66,000 annually."

"If your spouse is in a nursing home andyou have been told to spend half your assets then come back to apply for Medicaid...TALK with the Elderlaw Firm TODAY. Or, you will deplete your assets unnecessarily because you failed to get expert help to protect your life savings."

Under North Carolina Medicaid Law (also known as North Carolina Medical Assistance), you or your loved one often can qualify for benefits while protecting many of the assets you worked all your life to save. North Carolina has Medicaid benefits that apply to Nursing Homes, as well as Assisted Living Facilities.

With our understanding of the North Carolina Medical Assistance Program regulations on division of assets, gifting and other Medicaid planning issues, our lawyers can help you keep assets to which you are entitled, while helping ensure the nursing home care your loved one deserves.

At the Elderlaw Firm, we will file the Medicaid Application for you, much to our clients' delight. You don't have to worry about what to say to the Medicaid agencies, and we will handle the extensive paperwork required.
