The average lifespan in the U.S. is increasing, which means that more seniors are living long enough to enter nursing homes and stay in them for several years. However, this also means that many seniors aren’t prepared for how much long-term care will cost them. In Pennsylvania, the average cost of a nursing home is around $10,000 annually; this amount isn’t covered by Medicare or most private insurances. Medicaid, a government financial assistance program, can help seniors pay for long-term care, but applying is complicated. Daly Law Offices can help you navigate Medicaid planning so you don’t have to use all of your hard-earned assets to pay for care or financially burden your family with these costs. Call today to request a free consultation!

When It Comes To Protecting Your Assets In Retirement, Our Firm Is Focused On You.

Medicaid is a needs-based health coverage program, funded jointly by state and federal governments. Elderly adults can apply for Medicaid in order to help alleviate the extremely expensive costs of long-term care, but there are a few reasons why obtaining Medicaid benefits is more challenging than many seniors realize.

Medicaid has strict income and asset requirements. Even if you don’t consider yourself wealthy, you may have too much in terms of countable assets to qualify for Medicaid. However, you can’t just give all your assets to your children or spend your savings before applying; Medicaid doesn’t cover everything you’ll need in retirement or in a nursing home, and Medicaid considers any gifts, donations, or transfers to a trust within 5 years when determining whether or not you qualify. If you wait until you need long-term care, it may be too late. The application process itself can also be frustrating, confusing, and time-consuming. Any mistakes made can jeopardize your eligibility or cause you to start from the beginning.

Trying to plan for Medicaid alone is stressful; enlisting the help of a Medicaid planning lawyer to guide you allows you and your family to enjoy this time of your life without worrying about the future. Attorney Joshua N. Daly has spent 14 years helping elderly adults in Pennsylvania understand their options, find answers to their questions, shield their assets from nursing home costs using various legal tools, secure an inheritance for their children and grandchildren, apply for Medicaid, and appeal rejections. He can help you do the same! Call Daly Law Offices today to learn more about Medicaid planning and take your proactive next steps.

Josh we wanted to take a moment to thank you from the 3 of us from the bottom of our hearts. You are a gift and you have such a gift in what you do and they way you actually do it.
A total class act with the perfect personality for your profession. We can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you and honestly thank so much. And it won’t be the last you see of us. Much Appreciation. The Stine/DiGiovanni family
*We highly recommend Joshua Daly for Elder Law, wills, etc. This is something that people don’t know what can happen when your parents pass away or what to do. Josh helps prevent as much as you legally can the home and assets being taken by elder care home and/or govt.
What a great experience on a subject people don’t like to talk about but is so important. Josh makes this process pleasant. We are recommending Josh to all our friend and family and friends. Everyone should get their ducks in a row. I am glad we met Josh & finally did this!
Thank you Josh
