Asset Protection and Medicaid Planning in Indiana
Are you considering placing one of your parents in a nursing home? Are you married to a spouse who is not well, and is facing the need for long-term medical care either at home or in an assisted-living facility? If you are facing those, or other end-of-life medical health care issues, you should strongly consider comprehensive Medicaid planning that both protects your assets and does not jeopardize your ability to obtain government benefits.
Unlike Medicare, Medicaid is funded by both state and federal governments. Although it began under President Lyndon B. Johnson's administration as a health care program for the poor and elderly, today it often serves as a health care program for the middle class since long-term nursing care can quickly expend an entire lifetime of savings, and often forces people to liquidate assets just to apply and qualify for Medicaid.
Our attorneys understand the regulations, limitations, qualifications, current laws and any potential red tape and roadblocks.
For your convenience, we have provided some answers to elder law and Medicaid planning frequently asked questions.
