One of the most challenging aspects of elder law is understanding the nursing home contract. We review the nursing home contract before it is signed. Do not let nursing homes pressure you into signing the document as a condition of letting a loved one into a facility. Ask the nursing home to fax it to your elder law attorney first. This is a perfectly normal and routine request to make. Nursing homes in Maryland should have no problem faxing or immediately delivering the contract to an elder law attorney. If the Medicaid application has been denied, there is no question that nursing homes are going to be looking for immediate payment. They will first look to see who signed the nursing home contract. Let our office help you through this process and avoid the emotional turmoil of going through an involuntary discharge or through collection efforts undertaken against you. We can manage nursing home issues effectively.

The regulatory rules governing Medicaid and the Medical Assistance program in Maryland are ever-changing. The risks of making a mistake are high and the consequences of such a mistake can be devastating. Let us guide you through the process and provide that peace of mind knowing that your have an elder law attorney at your side.
