Feel Good About Your Golden Years. Feel Good About Your Future.

Turlock Medi-Cal Planning Lawyer

Affording months, let alone a year, of nursing home care without completely depleting an estate is something almost no family can afford. Long-term care insurance may offset costs, but Medicaid is often the more suitable option. In California, the program is called Medi-Cal.

Medi-Cal governs long-term care benefits for those parties eligible under federal and state Medicare guidelines. Through proper estate planning, it is possible to qualify for these benefits while protecting assets from future recovery. It is important to realize, however, that Medi-Cal covers long-term care in certain skilled facilities. As such, it is crucial to look at all issues if you or a loved one is considering in-home or other forms of assisted care.

I am Law Office of Ronald W. Hillberg, an attorney with more than 30 years of estate planning experience. At my California law office, I work directly with you and your loved ones to help you plan for these issues. If at all possible, I will do everything I can to help you qualify, looking at issues related to:

  • Federal look-back periods
  • Asset-transfer penalties
  • Waiting periods
  • DRA regulations

With my certification in elder law by the National Elder Law Foundation and decades of experience, I am ready for any Medi-Cal issue and other elder law needs. Reach out and schedule an initial consultation as soon as possible to discuss your options.
