VA benefits and Florida Medicaid can work together
Many families think they have to choose. Often you can have both, and we help with both.
VA Aid and Attendance
A monthly VA payment for wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily living.
Florida Medicaid long-term care
Help paying for care at home, in assisted living or in a nursing home. At home, it can cover 10 to 60 hours of care a week.
Worried about the five-year look-back?
Medicaid looks back five years at money or property you gave away. Our legal asset protection strategies are built around that rule, so you can often protect your savings even when care is needed now.
Together
We look at both programs for your family and put them in the order that protects the most. Call (844) 844-6334. The consultation is free.
Worried about paying for Mom or Dad's nursing home?
Many families don't learn about Medicaid planning until a parent already needs care. Here is what it is, in plain English.
Long term nursing home care is expensive. Medicaid can pay for it, but only after your parent's savings and assets are nearly gone.
Medicaid planning uses existing laws to structure legal strategies that protect those assets while your parent still qualifies for the care they need. It is no different from tax planning. Done properly, it can ease the burden on a surviving spouse and preserve an inheritance for the family.
Medicaid is run by each state, with its own rules, and our Medicaid planning is for families in Florida, from Pensacola to the Keys.
The sooner you plan, the more you can protect. Finding out what your family can protect is free.

How to protect assets from nursing homes
A person facing the prospect of long term care with moderate income and assets may eventually have to rely on Medicaid to pay part or all of the cost of care. But many states rob a healthy spouse of a previously adequate income by allowing too little in protected resources and income. Likewise, children, relatives and friends are not recognized for the financial sacrifices they make in providing the early care before a recipient becomes bad enough to need Medicaid funded professional help. Medicaid planning, using a professional Medicaid planning adviser or qualified elder law attorney, allows you to correct inequities in the system.
Start protecting assets from nursing home costs by calling (844) 844-6334.
Medicaid planning and proper use
Some individuals, who would normally have too many assets to ever qualify for Medicaid, can plan many years in advance, to give away everything to their family so as to qualify for Medicaid. Done properly, this will ensure an inheritance for the family. And if that person is not anticipating immediate care, this strategy can help pay for other care in the future.
Medicaid planning is no different from tax planning. In fact a Supreme Court decision condones honest methods of eliminating income taxes or estate taxes. Just like tax planning, Medicaid planning uses existing laws to structure legal strategies. Tax planning and Medicaid planning both can ease the burden of a surviving spouse or leave a legacy to the family, but one is considered ethical and the other not. We believe that all strategies have their place in the scheme of things.
Medicaid planning fits certain circumstances, usually where families are in a crisis mode trying to preserve a few assets such as a house or a savings plan. There is no attempt to take advantage of the taxpayers. Using other strategies for paying the cost of care is much better for a younger generation wanting a plan that will allow for home care, assisted living and a choice in care services.
