Paying for Healthcare – Medicaid Eligibility

Medicare offers only limited healthcare benefits for elderly Americans in need of in-home nursing assistance or long-term medical care. However, in order to qualify for Medicaid and the long-term care benefits it provides, one must either be impoverished or spend down their assets. At W.R. Stewart & Associates, our elder law attorneys explore estate and healthcare planning options that allow people to keep their homes and other assets while qualifying for Medicaid.

By proper estate planning and asset re-allocation strategies, we provide advice to our older clients regarding the medical benefits they need while retaining financial independence. In cases where one spouse is ailing and one healthy, we can transfer assets to the healthy spouse in order to qualify the other for Medicaid benefits or institutionalized care.
