Have you recently helped a spouse or parent move to a nursing home or is your loved one on the verge of needing long term care? This time can feel frightening and overwhelming. Will your loved one’s savings outlast their long term care needs? Do they have to “spend down” all their assets before they can qualify for Medicaid? Did we wait too long to plan? These are very real questions you might be asking yourself right now. Thankfully, there’s still hope at Providence.
The Earlier You Plan, the Better Your Options
While proactive nursing home planningis the best solution, most people can gain significant benefit from an Long Term Care Crisis Planning to help preserve their assets and accelerate eligibility for Medicaid Benefits or Veterans Benefits. Generally, Long Term Care Planning is the legal process of restructuring your assets in a way that’s permissible under the State’s Medicaid rules.
Uncomplicating the Complicated
Long Term Care Crisis Planning is a complex issue because there are strict laws associated with qualifying for Medicaid Benefits and Veteran’s Benefits, including income and asset limits and wealth transfer laws that could exclude you from benefits. As an advocate and legal adviser, a Providence elder law attorney can help you safeguard the finances and well being of your loved one, and get them the quality care they deserve without bankrupting the family. Regardless if your loved-one has $20,000 worth of assets or $300,000 worth of assets, don’t wait until it’s too late. The sooner you plan, the more options there are to protect them.
What are the Benefits of a Long Term Care Crisis Plan?

If your spouse or parent failed to plan and has an immediate need for long term care, a crisis plan will preserve their hard earned assets, protect their home from estate recovery reimbursement attempts, and qualify them for Medicaid as early as possibly.
