💡 Thinking of letting the nursing home handle your loved one’s Medicaid application? Read this first.

I see it all the time: families overwhelmed by long-term care decisions, and the nursing home offers to “help” with the Medicaid application. It seems convenient—but what they don’t tell you is that it could cost your family tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary spend-downs or Medicaid denials.

Nursing homes are not Medicaid experts—and they don’t work for you. Their priority is getting paid, not protecting your home, your savings, or your family’s legacy.

✅ As an elder law attorney, I represent your loved one’s best interests. I understand the rules, the exceptions, and the legal strategies to protect assets and ensure Medicaid eligibility—the right way.

Don’t take a one-size-fits-all shortcut on something this important. Mistakes in a Medicaid application are hard to undo—and the financial stakes are just too high.

📞 If you’re navigating long-term care or facing a Medicaid application, let’s talk. The right guidance now can save your family time, stress, and serious money.

💜 June 15th is Elder Abuse Awareness Day 💜
Did you know that 1 in 10 Americans experience elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation?

This is a hidden tragedy that is often overlooked and underreported.

Elder abuse can take many forms:
👉 Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse
👉 Financial exploitation
👉 Neglect — including self-neglect

It’s time to shine a light on this issue.

Let’s learn about the resources in our community to support and protect older adults. Together, we can:

✅ Prevent abuse
✅ Speak up for those who can’t
✅ Ensure dignity, respect, and safety for people of all ages

💜 Let’s raise awareness and stand united against elder abuse.

May is recognized as the National Elder Law Month! Practicing Elder Law I have had so many opportunities to meet amazing people and hear incredible stories. Thinking back over the last few years, one story that still sticks out in my mind is the story of Brittany Maynard. I had the honor of sitting down and speaking with her husband Dan Diaz to hear about her and her advocacy. Brittany Maynard transformed the conversation about death with dignity after she learned that she had terminal brain cancer and bravely decided to share her story with the world through the organization Compassion and Choices. Since Brittany’s passing on Nov 1, 2014, her husband Dan has been working to fulfill his promise to Brittany to advocate for Medical Aid and Dying and Death with Dignity and have legislation passed in various states.
“I won’t live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.” – Brittany Maynard
