Placing a loved one in a nursing home, convalescent hospital or rehabilitation center is never an easy decision. So often, concerned family members are confused by the choices and scared of the cost of nursing home care. It only gets more complicated when trying to figure out how to pay for one spouse when the other spouse will continue to live at home. Rest assured we can help your loved one get the nursing home care they need while legally protecting your family's assets and looking out for their financial interests.

Because Medi-Cal / Medicare won't pay for long term care in a nursing home, only for short stays focused on rehabilitation, there are just a few ways to pay for the cost of long term care.

• Pay out of pocket - Few people have the financial ability to do this.
• Long term care insurance - If you already own a policy then it will dictate what is available to you.
• Medi-Cal - California's version of Medicaid, it is the choice most families make.

Families who use Medi-Cal face a bureaucratic system that can seem designed to frustrate families rather than help them chose the right medicaid program for them. Medi-Cal rules and regulations are constantly changing and the county agencies that administer the program don't always follow their own rules. The attorneys at Grossman Law Firm can help you navigate this system while helping to ensure your loved one gets the best care possible. We'll show you how to keep the maximum amount of income and assets, how to reduce your stress as a caregiver, and how to make the Medi-Cal laws work for you.
