Planning for Long-Term Care
Deciding where an elderly or disabled person should live involves many complex issues. You want a place that is safe and allows your loved one to live in dignity and comfort. You also need to find a way to pay for the high cost of a nursing home or assisted living facility.
At the Law Offices of Steven M. Ratner, we are an experienced elder law firm. We help people plan for nursing home care while preserving their assets. We also help our clients choose the right living facility for their loved ones.
If the time is approaching when your loved one should move into a nursing home, contact our firm. We can review your situation, discuss your options and help you choose the right facility for your loved one.
Helping Your Loved One Live in Dignity and Comfort
Attorney Steven M. Ratner will learn about your loved one and carefully review your financial situation. We can also review the proposed nursing home contract, and evaluate the appropriateness of your nursing home choice based on its amenities, staff, location and other factors.
If your loved one does not currently qualify for Medi-Cal (known as Medicaid in other states), our firm will explore ways of helping your loved one qualify for benefits which can pay for nursing home care. Some nursing homes limit the number of Medi-Cal residents they accept. We can make sure that the home you have chosen is a Medi-Cal facility.
Qualifying for Medi-Cal While Preserving Your Assets
The high cost of nursing home care can quickly exhaust a person's assets. With the help of an experienced attorney, your family member may be able to qualify for Medi-Cal benefits by repositioning assets.
Our firm has extensive experience in planning for nursing home care. We understand the complex issues involved in these matters and will work to develop a plan that allows your loved one to qualify for benefits while preserving as many assets as possible.
Do Not Delay
It's never too late to plan, but the earlier you address the financial and legal aspects of your loved one's situation the better. The Law Offices of Steven M. Ratner in San Diego can help you make the right long-term care decisions, so that your family member can live in dignity and comfort.
