If you are disabled or over the age of 65, you may qualify for Medicaid's A and D waiver. This waiver provides funds to support families with caregiving in the home, or with assistance with rent in an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. We assist clients in applying for these waivers every day.
Medicaid allows a separation of assets to support what they call a "community spouse". One partner may qualify for Medicaid while the other partner maintains their way of life with little to no financial impact. Legacy Navigation has worked with countless couples to assist them in getting Medicaid services while protecting the community spouse and allowing clients to stay married.
Medicaid has many asset exemptions that help protect you from losing your assets such as your house or car. Legacy Navigation is well versed in knowing the pitfalls to avoid and the hoops to jump through in order to maintain and protect your assets.
Medicaid will allow you to funnel some money into what is called a "Miller Trust" which allows you to qualify for assistance while being able to continue to pay for your monthly needs. Legacy Navigation works closely with financial institutions and will walk you through establishment of these trusts.
Often times clients will apply for Medicaid and assume they do not qualify after receiving a denial letter. This is NOT the final decision. We work closely with Medicaid to overcome those obstacles and push each application through to completion.
While elder law attorneys are able help you with the process of applying for Medicaid, you do not have to retain their services. With our certifications and clinical background, Legacy Navigation will assist you with the application process and follow it through to the final approval for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay an attorney. We don't stop at the application process, our clinicians help you get the help you need whether in the home or with a move to a chosen facility.
