The cost of long-term care poses a significant risk to your home and life savings, and navigating this challenge can feel daunting.

This cost could increase by over 34% by the year 2028. Will you be able to afford any long-term care expenses after retirement?
If not, Coastal Legacy Law is here to help. We’re here to help you create strategies that make covering long-term care costs manageable, all while safeguarding your assets.

Medicaid is the primary source of assistance for those needing to cover long-term care.
Getting approved for Medicaid can be challenging and often requires a lot of time. Many people find their applications turned down on their first try, and every moment counts when you’re in need of nursing home care.
So, why is securing Medicaid coverage so difficult?
It boils down to its rigorous screening process. Typically, applications are denied for two reasons:
You own too
much
This could be money, property, cars, etc.
You've given too
much away
Like signing over a house to your children or giving cash gifts to your grandchildren.
This is where Coastal Legacy Law enters the picture.
We’ll guide you in creating plans to manage the significant expenses of long-term care while also safeguarding your assets.

Delaying is not an option when long-term or nursing home care is needed.
At Coastal Legacy Law, we want to ensure you get the care you need without losing your house, belongings or savings.
What would you do?
Imagine this scenario…
Your mom, always the rock of the family, starts having serious health issues.
She’s becoming forgetful and easily confused. After a serious fall, it’s obvious she needs more care than you can provide. Her doctor suggests it’s time for professional help, like a nursing home.
Now, you’re stuck wondering about the costs. How expensive is a nursing home, and how will you afford it?
You learn that Medicare, the health insurance for people over 65, doesn’t cover long-term care costs, and you may need to determine how Medicaid works.
Don’t stress; you’re not alone in this.
At Coastal Legacy Law, we’re here to navigate these challenges with you.
We’ll work out a legal plan, collaborate with your mom’s healthcare team, and make sure the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration approves her Medicaid application.
Let us simplify this process for you and your family. We’re dedicated to helping you secure the care your loved one needs and deserves.
No matter where you are in this process, we’re ready to guide you every step of the way.

Qualifying for Medicaid is difficult
Getting approved for Medicaid can feel like a maze. Without a clear guide and with complex rules, it’s tough to get it right on your first try.
It’s similar to trying to complete a home renovation on your own. Often, DIY efforts end up costing more time and money than hiring a professional from the start.
A single mistake on your Medicaid application could mean facing long-term care bills of $9,000 – or more – each month.
If you or someone you love needs nursing home care, acting swiftly is crucial. You may already understand that navigating this journey by yourself isn’t the best option.
At Coastal Legacy Law, we’re here to save you from the headache, time loss, and financial burden of navigating Medicaid by yourself. Reach out to us today to find out how we can help.

The advantages of early long-term care planning
Beginning your long-term care planning well in advance – before you or a family member requires it – provides key benefits in securing your loved ones’ future and protecting your assets.
Here’s what pre-planning can do for you:
Shield your home
Early long-term care planning can prevent your home from being claimed by Medicaid Estate Recovery, keeping it within the family.
Support for your spouse
Early long-term care planning ensures that the healthier partner can continue living comfortably in their own home.
Protect your family's legacy
Early long-term care planning secures your children's inheritance, sheltering it from being consumed by nursing home expenses.
Ensure your care
With early long-term care planning, we aim for your application to be accepted on the first attempt, speeding up access to the care you need.
At Coastal Legacy Law, we underscore the value of planning for Long-Term Care in advance, focusing on preserving your way of life and safeguarding what’s important to you.
