Orlando Medicaid Planning

Due to the baby-boomer generation getting older, more of my clients are utilizing nursing homes to care for loved ones. Clients whose parents live out of state are even moving their parents to Orlando, Florida in hopes that they can get them qualified for Medicaid. Currently, one month of nursing home care costs between $6,000 and $8,000. There are few senior citizens that can afford this expense. Even though some people might be unable to pay for this care, they still have options for providing the care that their loved one needs. Medicaid planning is a way to protect assets when one is entering a nursing home. Planning will also help family and loved ones understand the rules of Medicaid, and not believe any myths. There are a variety of Medicaid programs in Florida that are options for those who do not have the private funds to pay for their care. Setting up a Medicaid plan early is the key to gaining government assistance. However, even in a crisis we can help get Medicaid benefits. A qualified Elder Law attorney will be able to guide you in setting up a Medicaid plan with options that you are comfortable with.
