Medicaid will pay for the costs of long-term care at your home or in a nursing home if you are eligible. However, Medicaid has a complex set of eligibility rules that are based on a person’s income and assets. A plan developed by someone who does not know the ins and outs of the Medicaid rules can jeopardize your house, savings, and income. In order to prevent this from happening, it is critical for an Elder Law attorney to develop a thorough Medicaid plan for you before applying for benefits.
