My parent is about to enter a nursing home. How can an attorney help me?

A Elder Law attorney is there to hold your hand and walk you through the process of having a loved one enter a nursing home. At Kaba & Associates, P.A., we are very experienced with all types of nursing home issues. The laws are always changing, and we keep abreast of all the changes. The primary benefit, in addition to having an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to answer all your questions, is that we can help you and your family do the proper planning to protect and preserve assets so that all of your loved one's money is not spent on the nursing home. There is a better way to pay for the nursing home, and we can show you what it is. Caring for a loved one should not cost the savings of a lifetime.

Will doing this planning effect the level of care my loved one will receive?

In nursing homes that accept Medicaid patients and private-pay patients, the level of care is identical regardless if your loved one pays for it out of his or her own money, or if Medicaid pays for it. The only difference is, how much it is going to cost you. By doing the proper planning with Kaba & Associates, P.A., Law Office, you can save your money from being depleted on nursing home costs.

This sounds to good to be true. Will it really work?

The government has issued a very complex set of laws, rules, regulations and procedures that specifically allow for this type of planning, but only if it is done correctly. These laws are constantly changing, and we keep abreast of every change in the law as soon as it happens. We have successfully qualified several hundreds of people for Medicaid benefits, while protecting their life savings, and the list of clients we have helped grows every day. In fact, we have never had a Medicaid application for benefits denied for any client who followed our instructions. We know how to save you and your family money. It will work for you, if you work with us.

How soon should I contact you for help?

The earlier we can start the planning, the more money we can save. Remember, Noah built the arc before it started raining. We see all the time where our clients will put their head in the sand and think their problems will go away. If you plan now, before your loved one has to enter the nursing home, then you not only give yourself peace of mind so that you are ready for when the time comes that a nursing home is needed, but you also can maximize your savings. Above all, do not put off dealing with the issue until it is too late. Procrastination is the greatest threat to our future and security and our loved ones.

My parent is already in a nursing home. Is it too late for us?

Not at all. It is almost never to late to plan, even for those already in a home. However, the earlier you begin planning with us, the better.
