When individuals are in need of in-home care, assisted living, memory care, or nursing care, they often wonder if they can utilize Medicaid to help cover the expenses associated with long-term care. Medicaid is one of the few government programs that offers financial aid for long-term care costs to those who meet specific eligibility criteria based on income or disability.

Applying for Medicaid can be a daunting and time-consuming process for many people. However, at Carpenter, we are here to guide you through each step of the application process. We will assist you in understanding the qualifications required for Medicaid eligibility, gather all necessary documentation, and restructure assets strategically to maximize your Medicaid benefits while minimizing potential penalties and delays in coverage.

One of the greatest concerns people have about aging is that they will not be able to leave a legacy for their family due to the soaring costs of long-term care. Medicaid is a government program that provides healthcare coverage for individuals with low income and limited resources, particularly for long-term care services.

At Carpenter Estate & Elder Law, LLC, I help my clients develop comprehensive planning to arrange their finances and assets in a way that helps them meet the income and resource eligibility requirements for Medicaid while protecting as much of their assets as possible for their family and future generations.
