Nursing Home Medicaid

Long-term care in a nursing home can exceed $100,000 per year.  For individuals who do not have sufficient private resources or long-term care insurance to pay for this care, Medicaid can be a significant financial resource.  Furthermore, if a sick spouse’s income is required to help pay for their nursing home care on Medicaid, how does a well spouse afford to continue to live in the community with less income and resources?

The attorneys and staff of Britton G. Swank, P.A. can assist in applying for and navigating the Medicaid process.  We can help you receive the benefits necessary to ensure your loved one receives the care they deserve and their spouse can afford to continue living in the community.  Medicaid rules in Florida can be very complicated, which is why it is important to consult an elder law attorney to learn more about the process.
