At Lemieux & Jacoby Elder Law Advocates in Melbourne, Florida, we provide Elder Care Medicaid Planning to help families navigate the Medicaid maze with confidence, compassion, and legal clarity with a trusted elder care attorney. For many families, Medicaid is an essential resource to help cover the high costs of nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
Why Medicaid Planning Matters
For people with low income and limited assets, this collaborative program between the federal government and individual states to help people for medical expenses is known as Medicaid Planning. Those who meet their stringent qualification criteria for Medicaid receives medical benefits and care.
For seniors, qualifying for Medicaid can mean the difference between receiving necessary care or depleting a lifetime of savings. Without proper planning, many families are forced to spend down their assets to meet eligibility thresholds, often without fully understanding the legal consequences.
What an Elder Care Attorney Can Do for You
A skilled elder care attorney provides more than just legal paperwork. At Lemieux & Jacoby, our team brings deep knowledge of Florida’s Medicaid rules and a personalized approach to each case.
Here’s how we help:
1. Asset Protection and Spend-Down Strategies
We help you legally protect your loved one’s home, savings, and other assets while meeting Medicaid eligibility criteria. This may include setting up trusts, transferring assets, or converting countable resources into exempt ones.
2. Medicaid Application Assistance
Applying for Medicaid in Florida involves gathering a significant amount of documentation. We streamline the entire process for you—carefully completing each form and submitting everything promptly to help prevent delays or rejections.
3. Crisis Medicaid Planning
If your loved one needs immediate care, it’s not too late to get help. We specialize in “crisis planning” for families who are facing urgent situations, often helping clients qualify for benefits even if they believed it was impossible.
4. Long-Term Planning
Medicaid planning isn’t just for crises. Ideally, planning should begin well before long-term care is needed. We develop proactive strategies that can safeguard your family’s future and ease the stress of later-life decisions.
5. Navigating Florida’s Complex Laws
Florida’s Medicaid rules differ from other states and are frequently updated. Our Melbourne-based team stays current with all regulatory changes, ensuring your plan is both compliant and optimized for your loved one’s situation.
