Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I start Medicaid planning?
- The earlier the better. Medicaid has a 5-year look-back period for asset transfers. Planning years before care is needed gives you far more options.
- What are signs of nursing home neglect or abuse?
- Unexplained injuries, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, bedsores, unusual withdrawal, or fearfulness around staff are all warning signs that warrant investigation.
- Can a senior be forced into guardianship?
- Guardianship requires a court finding of incapacity. The proposed ward has the right to contest the proceeding. We represent both petitioners and those opposing guardianship.
- Does Medicare cover nursing home care?
- Medicare covers short-term skilled nursing care after a hospital stay. Long-term custodial care requires Medicaid or private funds. Planning ahead is essential.
