Connecticut Elder Law

What Connecticut government benefits are available for long-term care?

Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (“CHCPE”): The CHCPE Program is a Medicaid program that helps individuals pay for long-term care in the comfort of their own home. We assist clients with applying for this program.

Medicaid: In Connecticut, Medicaid, also known as Title XIX, will pay for almost all of an individual’s long-term care needs in a skilled nursing facility. We help clients prepare for Medicaid applications by giving advice on how to “spend down” assets to qualify in ways that benefit the individual and/or family.

Why work with us?

By design, we focus on elder law issues of long-term care planning and Medicaid applications as one of our three total practice areas so that our attorneys have time to stay up to date on the latest planning strategies and options available to our clients. Our other practice areas of estate planning and probate overlap with long-term care and elder law issues so that we can provide up-to date advice to our clients on how to manage, protect, and utilize assets in ways the benefit the individual and family. We understand the legal, medical and financial requirements that must be met for eligibility for government benefits, but, equally important, we understand the need for compassionate planning in stressful and uncertain times while an individual or family member is going through a huge life transition of requiring care.
