Nursing Home Medicaid Planning

A crisis occurs when a loved one has already been admitted to a nursing home or has been told that he or she will have to enter a nursing home very soon and that person’s income or assets are too high to qualify for Medicaid.

Often, well-meaning friends and healthcare professionals (such as social workers and nursing home intake staff) provide incorrect information about Medicaid eligibility because they do not understand the complexities of Medicaid eligibility rules, which are constantly changing. At Duckett Law LLC, we understand the Medicaid laws.

We can help…

Medicaid eligibility rules are complex and restrictive. Navigating the application and planning process can be overwhelming during a time of crisis. There are limits on the levels of income and resources a person may have in order to qualify for nursing home benefits. Those who have income and assets that exceed Medicaid limits will not be able to qualify to receive nursing home benefits.

We can help by quickly assessing your finances to determine whether you qualify for benefits and help you with planning and obtaining those benefits as quickly as possible.
