Elder Law and Medicaid Planning
Today, many elders and their families must come to terms with the high cost of long-term care. Many believe that Medicare will cover the costs of skilled care provided in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. This federal program, however, only covers limited services on a short-term basis. Given the fact that the cost of long-term medical care is exorbitant, it is crucial to plan ahead and protect your life savings.
At E.A. Goodman Law, LLC we help clients develop long-term care plans that consider the related financial concerns. We provide advice on an array of elder care issues such as healthcare planning with advanced medical directives, long-term care planning, selecting the right long-term care or assisted living facility, maintaining eligibility for public benefits (Medicaid, SSI), conservatorships and guardianships, special needs trusts, and asset protection.
