Coral Springs Medicaid Crisis Planning Attorneys
In Florida, long-term Medicaid can help families pay for the extraordinary cost of in-home, assisted living, and skilled nursing care. However, the many rules and regulations applicable to these programs can be overwhelming, especially in a crisis situation. An experienced elder law attorney can help navigate these complexities to qualify the Medicaid applicant for benefits as quickly as possible while preserving resources to supplement care and help meet the family’s continued needs.
At Feldman & Feldman, Counsellors at Law, P.A., we offer more than 30 years of Medicaid planning experience for families in and around Coral Springs. Our lawyers work directly with our clients and do not “farm out” work to staff. Our attorneys personally oversee each case and remain involved through every step of the Medicaid planning and application process.
When Is Crisis Medicaid Planning Needed in Florida?
Medicaid crisis planning is crucial in several situations:
- Unexpected admission to a nursing home or assisted living facility;
- Severe illness or injury requiring long-term care;
- The rapid declining health of an elderly family member;
- The need to protect assets while quickly qualifying for Medicaid benefits;
- The immediate need to reduce out-of-pocket health care costs;
- Unplanned medical emergencies that exceed current insurance coverage;
Each scenario can place immense stress on families, both emotionally and financially. Working with an experienced, knowledgeable attorney can help your loved one secure much-needed care while protecting their financial resources.
