Facing the prospect of an extended nursing home stay New York?
When a loved one has to enter a nursing facility it is a very difficult and emotional time. Don't let the burden of attempting to navigate the exhausting Medicaid system keep you from spending valuable time with your loved ones when they need you most.
The Medicaid application process is very tiresome, there is a mountain of overwhelming paperwork that will include documenting the entire financial situation of the applicant for the past 5 years ( and every fact in the application must be verified with corresponding documentation ).

Medicaid rules and requirements become more and more complex each year with strict financial guidelines and countless regulations. If you apply to soon and without the proper guidance you could be denied or imposed with a penalty…wait too long and you’ll be paying the nursing facility costs each month from your savings.
Why Medicaid?
Medicaid has become, by default, the long-term care insurance of middle class Americans. With nursing home costs in New York averaging $130,000* per year and continuing to rise, it’s easy to see that when a loved one enters a nursing facility, without the proper guidance and help, the average family will deplete their life savings in a very short period of time.

Medicaid provides assistance to individuals who are 65 or older and in need of a Long Term Care Facility
Medicaid is the single largest payer of nursing home bills in America and serves as the option for many people who have no other way to finance their long-term care.
Although Medicaid does have financial restrictions, it's by no means just for those below the poverty level. For those with a spouse... couples may retain assets up to $119,220 and the equity in your home can be as high as $828,000 [certain circumstances allow you to retain more of your assets].
