Senior Services in Brentwood
Brentwood seniors may come to need extra help and support during their later years, especially if they wish to remain independent for as long as possible. Seniors can maintain community connections and get the help and support they require by taking advantage of senior services available in the Brentwood area. Seniors can visit the website of the Suffolk County Office for the Aging.
The information you can find on this website includes details about services such as adult daycare; elder abuse concerns; benefits counseling; home energy assistance programs; caregiver support programs; senior employment; health insurance counseling; nutritional programs; and programs offering legal assistance to the elderly in Brentwood.
While community-based services can be very helpful to seniors during the aging process, there may come a time when older Bentwood residents require more help and support than can be made available through free or low-cost community-based programs. If this occurs, Mark S. Eghrari & Associates PLLC can help seniors to explore options for getting nursing care or home care covered.
Medicaid and Medicare Information
One of the most important things that elder law attorneys can do for Brentwood seniors is to help them qualify for Medicaid in case they need long-term care or in case they need to move into a nursing home.
Medicare does not provide payment for nursing home care except in limited circumstances where you need skilled nursing care. Medicaid, on the other hand, will pay for care but only if you can qualify. Mark S. Eghrari & Associates PLLC will help you to ensure that you’re able to get qualified for Medicaid coverage.
To find out more about Medicaid and Medicare, you can visit:
- The New York State Department of Health website
- New York State’s resources for finding a nursing care facility
- The Medicaid in New York website
- Medicare’s website detailing the rules for when Medicare provides coverage for nursing home care.
The sooner you begin making a Medicaid plan, the more of your money and property you can protect. Mark S. Eghrari & Associates PLLC will assist in determining if you need a plan and will help you to ensure your money and property will be safe if you must move into a nursing home.
