Medicaid eligibility rules are extremely complex and confusing and impossible to understand without highly experienced legal assistance.
What the Courts Say
The United States Supreme Court has called the Medicaid laws “an aggravated assault on the English language, resistant to attempts to understand it.” Schweiker v. Gray Panthers, 453 U.S. 34, 43 (1981).
The United States Court of Appeals for our own Fourth Circuit (just below the U.S. Supreme Court), in a case arising out of Virginia, has called the Medicaid Act one of the “most completely impenetrable texts within human experience” and “dense reading of the most tortuous kind.” Rehab. Association of Virginia v. Kozlowski, 42 F.3d 1444, 1450 (4th Cir. 1994).
What You Can Do
Get help! Without proper planning and legal advice from an experienced Elder Law attorney, many people spend much more than they should on long-term care and unnecessarily jeopardize their future care and well-being, as well as the security of their family.
What We Do
The Farr Law Firm is an Elder Law and Estate Planning firm dedicated to helping protect seniors and their families by preserving dignity, integrity, and family unity.
We help our elderly clients and their families with issues involving long-term care. We help clients find, get, and pay for the best possible long-term care; if a nursing home is the only option, we help clients find and get the best possible care while preserving and protecting their assets, including their homes, from the forced liquidation that is typically required in connection with entry into a nursing home. When needed, we complete the complex documents required for entry into a nursing home and for Medicaid. Please click here for more information.
