How Medicaid & V.A. benefits can assist with Long-Term Care

va benefits

Provisioning the Caregivers: Caregivers who are armed with good information on how to locate, maintain and finance long-term care are more successful in achieving a higher quality of life for their loved ones.
Multidisciplinary Action: No one professional can develop the caregiving battle plan. A collaboration of professionals is necessary but traditional referral relationships are not good enough.
Why traditional referral relationships break down.
True collaboration among professionals is achieved through institutionalized information-sharing, cross-disciplinary education and by developing true partnering opportunities with other professionals who can fill in the gaps.
Speaking the language of collaboration in elder care.
Understanding long-term care financing as a core caregiving challenge.
Why new (very new) Medicaid laws and rules create more challenges for caregivers but opportunities for professionals to bring value and peace of mind.
How elder care facilities, social service agencies, elder law attorneys and caregiving experts can provide collaborative information-based services regarding long-term care financing.
Money buys care. Answering the finance question leads to answers for placement, peace of mind, quality of care and quality of life.

We went to Solkoff Legal for advice on elder law. We needed to know what we could do, what we couldn't do, what we should do and what we shouldn't do. They were great.

When it comes to elder law, trust and estate planning, and medicaid asset protection, there is no name that is better known throughout Florida than SOLKOFF. I have used Solkoff Legal for a long time, as has members of my family and clients whom I have referred. Attorney Scott Solkoff and his staff are true experts in this field, are consummate professionals, and have the client's best interests at heart. In fact, I believe Solkoff has received many awards not only for his humanitarian work in his community, but from his peers for his professional excellence.
