Elder Law Services in Western PA

Elder law focus on the unique needs of senior citizens. Elder law attorneys typically have in-depth knowledge beyond the expertise of general-practice attorneys in the following areas:

  • Long-Term Care Planning
  • Medicaid Planning

Long-Term Care Planning

One of the biggest threats to financial security is the devastating cost of long term care. A comprehensive estate plan can help protect against future long term care costs. We will work with you to create a customized plan that fits your needs and ensures that your assets and income are secure.

Medicaid Planning

If your loved one needs long term care and they have not done any pre-planning, the cost of the care may eliminate their life savings. But this does not have to be the case. Even if your loved one is already in care, there is a solution other than draining their life savings. The solution is Medicaid. Primarily known as a public health insurance program for low-income individuals, families and children, Medicaid also pays for long-term care costs for individuals that qualify — and you may be surprised to know that you don’t need to be “poor” to qualify. In fact, there are numerous legal ways to protect various assets, even if you haven’t done any pre-planning prior to a healthcare crisis. However, qualifying for Medicaid can be a complicated process, especially if one elects to file the application on their own, without any professional assistance.

The Medicaid rules for long-term care are complicated; however, these rules are meant to prevent the spouse who is healthy (known as the community spouse) from becoming impoverished because his or her spouse needs care in a nursing facility or at home. The Pennsylvania Department of Aging Waiver Program pays for in-home care for someone that would otherwise need nursing home care.
