Medicaid

Eligibility and Planning

As a senior citizen, you may be entitled to Medicaid coverage. Understanding how your assets can affect your Medicaid eligibility is essential to having the best shot at being approved for benefits.

Long-term care is expensive, and you deserve the highest quality of care possible as you age. Unfortunately, if your monthly income or resources are near, or over, the financial eligibility limits for Medicaid, you risk being denied benefits. It can be devastating for you, your family, and your caregivers to watch your assets dwindle so you can afford the long-term health care you need.

Fortunately, even if your income or assets are above the limits, it is still be possible for you to qualify for Medicaid benefits. Understanding how your assets and income affect your Medicaid eligibility is essential to having the best shot at being approved for nursing home Medicaid benefits. Robert M. Goldberg & Associates has the experience and knowledge to help you explore different strategies for gaining eligibility for Medicaid while also protecting your assets. We’ll take responsibility for every step of the complex application process. We can also help with the appeal process if you have been denied coverage.

Veterans

Benefits

Military veterans and their surviving spouses are entitled to additional benefits as a thank you for their service to our country. At Robert M. Goldberg & Associates, we help seniors in Atlanta and throughout Georgia receive the Veterans Benefits they deserve.

    These include options which can support your long-term care needs, including compensation for certain service-connected disability, Dependent Indemnity Compensation (DIC), and VA Improved Pension with Aid and Attendance.

Case Study

A Strategic Approach to Medicaid Planning

When Arnold and Rose first visited our office, they shared a common concern many families face: how to protect their primary asset—their $300,000 home—while ensuring access to needed long-term care benefits. Their story demonstrates how proactive legal planning can help families preserve their legacy while preparing for future care needs.

Medicaid Crisis Planning

Margaret’s family came to us in distress. Their 78-year-old mother had been in a nursing home for two months following a severe stroke. At $12,000 per month, her savings were rapidly depleting. They wanted to secure Margaret’s care for as long as needed.

June’s Long-Term Care Planning

June, a 65-year-old retiree in relatively good health, was thinking ahead to her future care needs. She’d heard stories about the high costs of nursing homes and wanted to protect her assets, especially her home, in case she needs long-term care down the road.
