Medicaid Planning & Elder Law

Long-term care in New York is expensive.

Depending on the level of care needed, nursing home costs can reach $150,000 or more per year. Without planning, those costs can quickly deplete a lifetime of savings and leave a surviving spouse or family members in a difficult position.

Medicaid can cover the cost of long-term care for those who qualify, but qualifying requires careful advance planning for asset protection and a comprehensive legal approach to safeguard some assets in the case of an immediate need.

Whether you are planning ahead or responding to an immediate care need, we can help you understand your options and make a plan that works. We guide individuals and families through the process of protecting assets while building a path to Medicaid eligibility and handle Medicaid applications from start to finish.
