Emergency and Advance Medicaid Planning
Over two thirds of families who commit someone to ongoing nursing home care run out of money within the first year, primarily due to the extremely high cost of these facilities. Additionally, Medicare will not cover lengthy stays in nursing homes. If this sounds like the situation your family is facing, do not despair; the Stano Law Firm can help.
Many people are eligible for some form of public assistance to help defray the costs of care and preserve their assets at the same time. Whether this assistance comes in the form of Medicaid benefits, Veterans benefits or some other source, the Stano Law Firm can help you develop a comprehensive plan that will address both the medical and financial needs of your family.
