Will Medicaid pay for a nursing home?

Medicaid can help you pay for a nursing home stay, but applying for and getting approved is complicated.

In Florida, medicaid looks at many different factors to determine qualification. Things like income sources, what assets you own and their value, real property, and whether there are other benefits available to you.

Medicaid will also ask if you’ve given assets away. Your application will be denied if you don’t meet even one requirement.

Whether you are planning for future needs, facing an impending crisis, or already paying for long-term care, there are options we can discuss with you.

Do I have to spend everything I have to qualify for Medicaid?

Medicaid does provide some exceptions to spending down your entire savings and allows you to keep some assets.

There are also several legal tools available when planning for medicaid:

Medicaid planning considers all aspects of your estate and care needs.

Planning before your loved one needs care allows you or your loved one many options such as creative trust drafting or the ability to convert or transfer assets.

If your loved one needs immediate nursing home care or is already in a nursing home, it’s not too late.

Don’t pay out of pocket until your savings is exhausted. There are legal tools that we can implement to manage income and minimize assets quickly to get you medicaid eligible.
