Medicaid
The Medicaid system can be daunting but with the right assistance, you can navigate it successfully. First, keep in mind that there are different levels of Medicaid benefits available to many seniors, depending on the applicant’s needs. For example, a senior living at home generally will not qualify for Medicaid, but one who needs skilled nursing and has limited assets often will qualify.
There are many other aspects to consider before qualifying for Medicaid, such as whether you are married or single, how assets are titled and any recent transfers of assets (which might incur a penalty). We strongly encourage you to consult an attorney familiar with Medicaid eligibility before applying.
