Many of the elderly and disabled are unable to pay for their own long term skilled care. Medicaid is a federal program, run by the state, that was established to assist those with financial limitations. In order to qualify for this program, a person's finances must be within certain limits. Often times, people need legal advice as to how to manage their financial assets so as to safeguard their Medicaid eligibility. In cases like these, an attorney knowledgeable in Medicaid issues can be of help to you.
