[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need an attorney.  You can apply for her through the county program.  Long term care medicaid is a separate program from medicaid.  Just call the county and ask them.[/quote]

DP here. Yes, this can work, but it is not always a slam dunk. I worked with someone through my parents' county. She was good, but she wasn't a slam dunk. Our dad was denied twice, but made it through on third time because we hired a lawyer. So I learned a lot about what I needed to do but she wasn't foolproof in knowing what might be possible obstacles to a successful application.

And as per another PP, this is not an area for dabblers. I talked to many on the phone while searching for one to take on my dad's case. It was clear that I knew more than some of them - they wanted to set up all kinds of stuff even though I made it VERY clear that we were long past that phase. Finally got a great person who was worth every cent.[/quote]

Do you mind sharing the recommendation?  My mom lives in a different state and already has qualified and receiving services in that state.  But it's really far away and I'm having to incur costs traveling to the state from VA.  I would like to move her closer but wanted to understand whether she would be able to receive similar services here.  A lawyer's referral would be really appreciated.[/quote]

Sorry for delay in responding here. It's not VA so it's not germane.[/quote]
