The Do’s and Dont’s of Signing a Nursing Home Agreement

October 30, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

When a person is admitted to a nursing home, often a family member manages the move. If you manage the transition into a nursing home, you may be asked to sign a nursing home admission agreement as the “responsible party.” These agreements are thick, complicated, and confusing, and you are asked to sign them at the time of admission when you are under a great deal of stress. Don’t feel pressured to sign the agreement on the spot. Make sure you understand what you are signing. Don’t accidentally … [Read more...] about The Do’s and Dont’s of Signing a Nursing Home Agreement

July 23, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

As we get older, thinking about retirement and aging can raise many questions, both for the person getting older and their adult children.

Is There a Medicaid Asset Limit?

June 6, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

When you think about health insurance for senior citizens, Medicare is probably going to come to mind first. You pay into the Medicare program when you are working and paying taxes. You can accumulate as many as 4 retirement credits per year. Once you have 40 credits, you will qualify for Medicare when you reach the age of 65. Medicaid is a need-based health insurance program for people of all ages. Most seniors are not going to need Medicaid coverage when they reach the age of 65, because … [Read more...] about Is There a Medicaid Asset Limit?

What Are the Disadvantages of a Medicaid Trust?

March 28, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

You may wonder why Medicaid would be relevant to you if you are going to qualify for Medicare as a senior citizen. The reason why Medicaid is relevant to many elders is because of the fact that Medicare will not pay for custodial care. Custodial care is the type of care that you would receive in a nursing home or assisted living community. It is essentially living assistance rather than medical or convalescent care. For this reason, it is not covered under Medicare. … [Read more...] about What Are the Disadvantages of a Medicaid Trust?

What Is the Five Year Medicaid Look Back?

February 26, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

The Medicaid program is relied upon by most senior citizens who are receiving long-term care in the United States. This is true even though Medicaid is a program that is thought of as being a safety net for people with virtually no financial resources. Many of the people who ultimately utilize Medicaid to pay for assisted living were qualified for Medicare coverage. They worked throughout their lives, they were never financially needy, and they had some retirement savings. … [Read more...] about What Is the Five Year Medicaid Look Back?

Who Pays for Nursing Home Care?

October 25, 2013 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Recently an elder law colleague related the following.  His client was sued by a nursing home for nonpayment, claiming nearly $60,000 in unpaid services.  The client had applied for Medicaid, but his application was denied and the case was on appeal. The problem was that the client’s daughter signed the nursing home admissions agreement for him, so now both of them were being sued.  The daughter was his power of attorney and the nursing home knew this, but she didn’t sign "POA" … [Read more...] about Who Pays for Nursing Home Care?
