Nursing Home Medicaid:How Do You Apply?

For those hoping to qualify for nursing home Medicaid and are looking for assistance with the application process, it is important to recognize that the state is not always the best resource for application assistance.  Often times, private medicaid planners are in a better position to counsel individuals on their Medicaid eligibility.

Please note that since nursing home Medicaid is administered at the state level, many states refer to their Medicaid programs using alternative names.  In addition to the alternative names,  the rules in each state can vary significantly.

To apply for nursing home Medicaid you will have to:

  1. Fill out an application form

  2. Provide documentation to verify general and financial requirements

  3. Go through a functional eligibility assessment

If you own a home, the state may ask you to document the current fair market value of the home and any loans for the home, such as mortgages or equity loans. The state may ask for these documents:

  • A current tax bill

  • A real estate appraisal

  • Copies of your mortgage

Be cautious if intending to file by yourself. Our professionals have the experience to know exactly what you need so that your application won’t be denied.

APPROVED!

A few years ago I saw a bus company using the Senior Step to aid their passengers in entering and exiting the motorcoach. Upon examination I went home and ordered the Senior Step to use when conducting tours. It has been an extremely useful investment making getting on and off the bus with ease for my seniors. I would highly recommend anyone in the tour/travel/bus industry in purchasing this product. It is well built and will hold up to rigorous use.

I gave a Senior Shure-step to my mother-in-law who uses it daily. She is mid-80’s and having a hard time getting in and out of the car. The Shure-step makes it much easier and is incredibly sturdy. I would recommend it to anyone needing a secure step stool. It’s also very light and portable.
