Medicaid is a state-funded program which finances the long-term care needs of those Connecticut citizens who do not have the money available to pay for their care and who fall into certain categories. These categories include recipients of AFDC or State Supplement benefits, the disabled or legally blind, persons aged 65 years or older, those who are under 21 years of age, or those who are pregnant.

 Kearns & Kearns PC assists seniors and their families in planning for future Medicaid eligibility, which will pay for the Connecticut Homecare for Elders Program (a community-based service program) and skilled nursing facilities in Connecticut. The implementation of asset protection strategies for Medicaid planning is very confusing and should be done in advance of anticipated need. The asset protection strategies must be completed accurately and in a timely manner. If there is an error, the family may be liable for nursing home costs.

  We are experienced elder law attorneys who provide invaluable assistance to clients and their families to attain eligibility for Medicaid as quickly as possible. We can help you gather the documents needed for the Medicaid application process and act as a liaison between you and the Connecticut Department of Social Services. You can take comfort in knowing that Kearns & Kearns is handling your affairs.
