Read the Complete Article Find an Elder Law or Estate Attorney Find a Trust Administrator About Nursing Homes For many care recipients long term care is an evolving process of losing more and more physical or mental capacity. A nursing home is usually the last stop in this process. The nursing home is equipped to handle medical problems, disability and in some cases behavior problems that cannot be handled by any other provider. Because there are now so many other options for care prior to a nursing home, the trend is that residents on average are much sicker and older than in the past.

But Medicaid planning is really a useful strategy and is typically used to save what few assets are remaining for Medicaid spend down and to provide adequate income for the healthy spouse at home. Medicaid often robs the healthy spouse of a quality standard of living by not allowing enough needed assets and income.

If the patient is not recovering, Medicare eventually quits paying. Medicare also covers hospice care. The VA will also cover limited home care, assisted living and nursing home care under certain conditions. In addition many states have VA state nursing homes. Read the Complete Article Aid & Attendance List of VA State Nursing Homes Using a Reverse Mortgage After 15 years, reverse mortgages are finally starting to catch on. A reverse mortgage allows someone to tap the equity in his or her home and use it for anything. There are no income or credit requirements for this loan. It's the same as any other loan -- you own the title and the bank holds a lien. There is no requirement to make payments while you are alive and still living in the home. Read the Complete Article Find a Reverse Mortgage Specialist Request Help About Medicaid Long Term Care Medicaid provides nursing home coverage for elderly people over age 65 and for younger disabled people on SSI. Except for 13 states that test for income, in all other states, a person can receive Medicaid nursing home if assets are less than $2,000 and income is not sufficient to pay the full cost of care. Medicaid will make up the difference. Medicaid waivers are used to cover home care and assisted living services in all states. But in many states nursing homes are favored over these waiver programs.

Everyone should use a care manager when the time for care comes. Unfortunately it's just the opposite. Family think they can do it themselves and rarely spend the money. Using a care manager is no different than using an attorney or a CPA. The family is confronting the maze of long term care services for the first time. The care manager has been there many times. A care manager will save time, money and stress.

Read the Complete Article Find an Elder or Geriatric Care Manager About Medical Care for the Elderly There is a crisis in the health care treatment that elderly Americans receive in this country. Few doctors have training in providing health care to the elderly. As a result many seniors are over-medicated and under-treated and their quality of life may be severely affected. With proper treatment many of the afflictions of the elderly could be substantially reduced. Families should seek medical treatment through geriatric clinics or from geriatricians. Read the Complete Article Find a Geriatric Health Care Practitioner Elder and Family Mediation Services A large number of families put up with family disagreements and family disputes and long lasting bitterness over the care of loved ones. Many people don't realize that a simple process called mediation could put their family back together again. Elder or family mediators bring disputing parties together and through mutual agreement and a written document help them to resolve their issues. This is an extremely valuable service. Read the Complete Article Find an Elder or Family Mediator About Elder Abuse Elder abuse is the "dirty little secret" of caregiving. Estimates are that only about 10% of all abuse is ever reported. And it's possible that 10% of elderly and disabled Americans suffer abuse at the hands of caregivers or family members. The most frequent abuse is not in nursing homes but in the homes of the persons receiving care. This could be neglect, physical abuse, verbal abuse or financial abuse where children are stealing assets. Read the Complete Article List of State Protective Services List of State Ombudsmen Professional Home Care Services Although most home care is provided by family, friends or volunteers, there is a growing trend to hire paid individuals or professionals to provide this care in the home.

Some of this equipment, labeled as durable medical equipment by Medicare, will be covered by Medicare. Such things as bed lifts, wheelchairs and scooters as an example.
