Elder law encompasses many different areas, but all with the same underlying principle – protecting our seniors. At Spalding Law Office in Chaska, MN, our elder law practice focuses on all issues related to Medical Assistance (Medicaid). This can include counseling clients on planning strategies to protect assets from assisted living and nursing home costs. If there is a more immediate need for assisted living or nursing home care, we advise families on how to spend down assets within the rules to become eligible for Medical Assistance. Finally, the application process itself can be overwhelming and daunting for families already in crisis. With our elder law services, we can take this burden off their shoulders and oversee this process allowing families to focus on their loved ones and the impending transitions.
