One of the fastest growing segments of the American population is people over the age of 85, according to the National Institute on Aging. Because Americans are living longer lives and the cost of healthcare continues to rise, many people are facing health costs they’re not prepared for. Often times, skilled nursing-care in a residential facility costs as much per day as a luxury hotel.

The good news is that while it is never too early to begin planning, it is rarely too late to rectify some of the downfalls of failing to plan.

The Law Offices of Mark C. Bouldin and Associates, P.A. strive to help senior citizens receive the care they deserve, whether the care is at home or in a assisted living facility. Our attorneys work towards this goal by investigating eligibility benefits under Veterans Entitlement programs, Social Security, pensions, individual disability and retirement savings programs, as well as other specific government and charitable programs. Additionally, our attorneys understand the complicated and confusing Medicaid program. They assist with Medicaid applications and offer asset protection ideas, customized toward an individual client's circumstances.
