Medicaid Planning

For an individual facing the need for nursing home care, as well as their family, Medicaid can be confusing. We can help you and your family better understand Medicaid and the Medicaid application process. We will meet with you and your family and explain Medicaid in simple terms. Our firm will prepare your plan for Medicaid qualification and complete and file your Medicaid application. Our firm can also handle Medicaid appeals on your behalf.

Asset Preservation & Estate Planning

We can aid seniors in transferring assets when an individual or their spouse is faced with the need for nursing home care. This type of planning is most effective when done prior to the need for nursing home care. Our firm can help you plan for the management and disposition of your estate through the use of wills, trusts and other estate planning documents.

We recommend that you visit our Estate & Trust Planning page for more information.

Planning for Disability

Planning for disability involves delegating your decision-making authority to another person if you become incapacitated or incompetent. We can assist you in planning for potential disability through the use of a Durable Power of Attorney for your financial management decisions and a Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney for health care decisions.

Medicare and Supplemental Health Insurance

With the recent development of the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, many seniors have questions regarding the plan’s coverage. We can help you understand your options under the new plan and advise as to other options for Ohio seniors. Our firm can help you better understand Medicare coverage issues, appeals and claims administration. We can advise you regarding supplemental health insurance to cover expenses not covered by Medicare.
