Planning for long-term care can feel overwhelming, whether you are preparing for a senior family member or exploring Medicaid for yourself. With the right guidance, the process can be smooth, strategic, and empowering. Shepherd Elder Law Group brings extensive experience in Medicaid planning, helping clients protect their assets while ensuring access to the benefits they need.
Why Working with an Expert Makes a Difference
Long-term care costs in the United States can be substantial, often exceeding $10,000 per month depending on location. Medicaid provides essential coverage for many families, but navigating eligibility rules and planning effectively can require specialized knowledge. This is where an experienced elder law attorney makes all the difference.
Medicare and Medicaid serve different purposes, and understanding the distinctions is key. While Medicare provides vital medical coverage, Medicaid can support long-term nursing care such as assistance with daily activities like dressing, eating, or moving safely. Shepherd Elder Law Group helps clients clearly understand these programs and design a plan tailored to their unique needs.
