Elder Law

Elder Law is a highly specialized area of law and should be handled only by a qualified elder law attorney. Elder Law focuses on helping seniors cope with the legal, financial and medical issues that are part of growing older. Clients throughout New York seek the legal advice of our experienced elder law planning attorneys at Kornfeld Law Firm.

Do I Really Need an Elder Law Attorney from Kornfeld Law Firm?

The following statistics show why it is so very important to work with an elder law attorney:
  • Approximately one in three men and one out of every two women will require long-term care (either at a nursing home or at home) at some point in their lives.
  • Nursing home care for a semi-private room in New York averages between $122,000 and $180,000 a year. In-home health care in New York can be even more expensive, averaging between $23 and $30 per hour. The cost will continue to rise in the future, as will the cost of assisted living care.
  • Nearly two out of three families loses their life savings within two years of a family member entering a nursing home.

At Kornfeld Law Firm we will design a plan to protect your assets when you require assisted living or nursing home care and help you cope with what is known as a Medicaid Crisis Situation.

Long-Term Care Planning | Medicaid Planning

Medicaid planning, also known as long-term care planning, is for people who are currently in good health but are worried about the possibility of needing long-term care in the future. At Kornfeld Law Firm our goals with the long-term care planning are to help our clients remain independent for as long as possible and preserve their assets if and when they need assisted living, home care, or nursing home care. We work with you in order to design a customized plan to protect your savings for the benefit of your well-spouse and other loved ones, help you become eligible for Medicaid assistance to cover your long-term care costs, and protect your loved ones.

The Medicaid Planning Crisis

Medicaid is the largest provider of assistance for nursing home residents in the United States. When you consider the cost of long-term care in Brooklyn, New York, it is easy to see why most families face a financial crisis when a family member must enter a nursing home immediately, or in the near future because they have been informed that he or she has too many assets to be eligible for assistance from Medicaid.

If you’re losing your hours of sleep thinking of how to pay your family member’s nursing home care contact us today for a consultation. At Kornfeld Law firm we can determine if you’re eligible for Medicaid assistance and help you get the financial assistance you need as quickly as possible.
