From the first initial contact to Robert, I explained my situation to him about my dad who has alzheimers and was concerned about his house. I had filed for medicaid without first consulting and never read the fine print, he was very compassionate, caring and very knowledgeable of the Elder care law, he assured me things would be ok. He made the transfer of the home very easy, He was always there to answer all my questions and concerns, I learned a very valuable lesson, before you consider filling out medicaid, or placing parents in a home please cosider consulting with Robert Slutsky, He made it very less stressful on myself and my father, I cant thank him enough,

My wife and I had been caring for my father, who was suffering from dementia. Eventually he became ill enough to require a full time care facility, and we needed to apply for Medicaid to cover the cost. His financial situation was extremely complex and we knew we would need help navigating the process, so we turned to Slutsky Elder Law for assistance. From start to finish, Mr. Slutsky stayed with us and was able to successfully get him covered. We would never have been able to do this on our own. I would definitely recommend Slutsky Elder Law to anyone seeking assistance in these matters.

Rob... Is a highly knowledgable and connected attorney in the Elder Care space. He provided our family with excellent strategies for elder care and asset protection. His contacts in the right places enabled us to effectively transfer an asset that had been in process for years. Rob is a caring individual who is empathetic and understanding of the emotions families deal with it addressing elder care issues. I highly recommend Rob and Slutsky Elder Law.

You may qualify for long term care through Medicaid based on income and assets. Qualification will depend on your personal situation, need for care, the amount and type of assets you own and your marital status. Also, if you have young or disabled children that could affect your eligibility.
Many attorneys/financial advisors would recommend starting an Estate Plan the moment you become a legal adult, and updating it every three to five years after that. While the planning will change as you age, marry, have children and accumulate assets, the need to have a plan in place does not.
The basic difference is Elder Law planning focuses on ensuring the most productive use of your assets for your care while you are alive. Elder law is about ensuring you receive the best care possible while alive and making sure you receive everything you are entitled to so your family is protected from long term care costs devastating your assets. Estate planning is primarily concerned with implementing your wishes and distributing your assets after you pass on, in the most efficient and tax advantaged way.
If you die without a will assets in your name alone will pass to your legal heirs in accordance with the intestacy law in your state. In essence the state makes a will for you, including the choice of who will carry out the distribution of your assets. Failure to execute a will leaves the important decision of who will receive your property and who will ensure it gets there up to state law. For most people it is in your best interest to have a properly drafted will.
If you are an older adult and need assistance planning for your future, are in a care crisis or have a disabled loved one you want to plan for, you should seek out an experienced elder law attorney.
An elder law attorney can assist you in planning for long term care needs, work through a crisis situation with an older or disabled adult and help you maximize your financial resources so you and your loved ones are not bankrupted by long term care costs. In addition, an elder law attorney can help you plan for the care of your disabled loved one.
An elder law attorney is an estate planning attorney with additional skills and knowledge. While estate planning attorneys will often prepare wills, trusts and powers of attorneys and discuss taxation (income and inheritance taxation), an elder law attorney discusses those in a larger context. An elder law attorney helps families prepare for the need for long term care, what possible options the family will have, where the care will be provided and how to pay for the care. An elder law attorney uses not only basic estate planning skills but coordinates those important considerations with asset protection, use of Medicaid funds to pay for care and the need to ensure the safe management of a cognitively impaired person (Dementia or Alzheimer's). In addition most elder law attorneys help families plan for the needs of Special Needs children by assisting the family in obtaining Medicaid benefits and ensuring funds left to a disabled child is managed responsibly for the child’s benefit.
