Medi-Cal Planning Many seniors eventually require long-term or nursing home care. This care is extremely expensive, costing anywhere from $4,000 to $9,000 a month in California, depending on what type of care is needed and what part of the state you live in. This, together with the fact that Medicare will not pay for long-term nursing home care, has led to a very sad situation: two out of three families run out of money within the first year of a prolonged nursing home stay. An entire life savings gone in a single year! At Liberty Law, A.P.C., we help elderly Americans and their loved ones avoid this tragic scenario. We will do everything we can to protect the savings you have worked a lifetime to achieve. One way we do this is through non-crisis Medi-Cal planning, which is for people who are currently healthy but want to ensure they will be prepared financially and otherwise should they become incapacitated in the future. Legal tools we can use to help you accomplish this include promissory notes, life estates, annuities and trusts. Please note that the sooner you contact us to design a plan, the more options we will have to help you. A Medi-Cal Crisis We fully understand that advanced planning is not always possible. When someone has already been admitted to a nursing home (or will need to enter one in the near future), and has been informed that they have too many assets to qualify for Medi-Cal, the situation is called a Medi-Cal crisis. Do not give up hope if you or a loved one is facing a Medi-Cal crisis. We may still be able to protect most if not all of your assets. For one thing, you should know that information provided by nursing home intake staff, Medi-Cal workers, social workers and other well-meaning professionals is often inaccurate. They simply do not know the subtle nuances of Medi-Cal law. At Liberty Law, A.P.C., we do. If you or someone you love is currently faced with a Medi-Cal crisis situation, please contact us today to learn how we can help. We can show you how to get assistance from Medi-Cal and guide you through every step of the application process. Even if you have been denied benefits, we still may be able to help you obtain benefits and protect your life savings. Elder Abuse Each and every day, America’s seniors fall victim to abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. When the senior suffering from such abuse is already in a weakened state, severe injuries and even death are a distinct possibility. We owe it to our seniors hold perpetrators of elder abuse accountable and bring them to justice. If you believe a loved one has been victimized by abuse, we can inform you of your rights and explain all of your legal options to you in detail. We can also help you identify which party is ultimately at fault, and then work towards obtaining the evidence necessary to file a strong claim against the appropriate party. In addition, we can help you file a wrongful death suit if your loved one has passed away as the result of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. We represent victims of all forms of elder abuse, including
You should know that while most elder abuse cases are filed against nursing homes and their employees, such suits are also filed against family members or private caretakers. We have successfully litigated cases that have led to the restoration of homes and property to elderly people who were victimized by their own family members. Please contact us today if you believe a loved has been the victim of elder abuse. Institutions or people who victimize the elderly deserve to be punished as severely as the law allows, and the victim and his or her family are entitled to just compensation. |

Elder law encompasses a wide range of practice areas, including Medi-Cal planning, estate planning, asset protection and more. Our goal with respect to elder law is to help seniors protect their assets against the high cost of nursing home care, remain independent for as long as possible, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing a plan is in place for the future. We offer both advanced planning services and assistance with Medi-Cal crisis situations.
