Elderly and disabled individuals that remain in their homes, instead of entering a nursing home facility, may be eligible to receive medical benefits from state and federal programs. It is also possible to financially plan to provide for home health care with the assistance of a home health care attorney such as Allaire Elder Law. However, to establish a financial health care plan or obtain government medical care benefits, it is essential that you have an attorney on your side that understands the rules and can effectively guide you through the processes.

We are able to travel and meet with clients in Bristol and throughout the surrounding communities in Connecticut. Contact us today to further discuss your needs and begin working together to develop a sound financial plan.

When dealing with home health care planning, our home health care attorney, Stephen Allaire, will help you understand what government programs are available to you based upon your level of need, your assets and your income. We carefully analyze all of your income and assets, while also evaluating what type of care you require, to ensure that the proper benefits are requested and effective plans are in place.
