ElderCareAdvisors is a free elder care assistance program provided to families by Quinn Estate & Elder Law, LLC.
Elder law is the process of educating and presenting planning options that apply to a senior’s unique problems. Elder law planning can involve qualifying a client for government benefits to help them pay for long term care, such as benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) to help offset some of the costs of care, or arranging one’s affairs so that Medicaid can help pay for a nursing home stay. Medicaid and VA planning involve working with the laws to set aside assets to help pay for nursing home care, and to pay for things not covered by Medicaid such as caregivers, hearing aids, beauty shop visits, televisions, clothes, shoes, and other personal items; while at the same time preserving as much as possible for the person’s spouse and children.
Call Deirdre @ 636-395-0877 for help with long-term care solutions, qualifying for Veterans Benefits & Medicaid.
