Perez-Roura Law helps Miami clients prepare for long-term care needs through Medicaid planning, asset protection strategies, and legal guidance tailored to seniors and their families. We ensure quality care without financial devastation.

Long-term care—such as nursing homes, assisted living, or in-home support—is an essential part of aging, but it comes with significant costs that can quickly erode savings. At Perez-Roura Law, we help clients develop practical legal strategies to afford care while preserving assets and maintaining dignity. Whether you’re planning proactively or responding to a sudden health crisis, our team works with Miami families to build comprehensive legal plans that ease the burden of long-term care decisions.

Medicaid Planning: Qualifying Without Losing Everything

Medicaid is a key resource for long-term care funding, but qualifying isn’t simple. Florida has strict income and asset limits, and many families assume they’ll need to spend down everything to qualify. At Perez-Roura Law, we guide clients through legal **Medicaid planning**, helping protect homes, savings, and retirement accounts through exemptions, trusts, and restructured ownership. Our goal is to help you or your loved one become eligible for care benefits while preserving as much of your estate as possible. We handle applications, appeals, and represent clients in agency proceedings when necessary.

Asset Protection for Seniors

Planning for long-term care often involves protecting wealth from being drained by medical and facility expenses. Our firm creates **irrevocable trusts**, **life estate deeds**, and **spousal planning tools** that comply with Florida Medicaid regulations while shielding valuable assets. We also address the five-year Medicaid lookback period and help clients time transfers or restructure property appropriately. Whether you’re protecting the family home or managing a more complex financial portfolio, we offer customized plans that maximize care options without sacrificing your legacy.

Nursing Home Contracts and Legal Oversight

Choosing a care facility involves more than location and reputation—it includes navigating legally binding contracts. We review **nursing home admission agreements**, ensuring clients aren’t unknowingly signing away rights or exposing themselves to liability. We also advise on resident rights, grievance procedures, and legal remedies if care is substandard. Perez-Roura Law acts as your advocate throughout the process, protecting your interests and helping your family make informed decisions during emotionally challenging transitions.

Crisis Planning: When Care is Needed Now

Sometimes, a health emergency forces a sudden move into a care facility. Even in these **crisis planning** situations, there are still legal tools that can protect assets and secure eligibility. We work quickly to implement emergency Medicaid strategies, redirect income, manage transfers, and execute urgent powers of attorney or advance directives. Our responsive support minimizes disruption and gives families the confidence that their loved one will receive quality care without unnecessary legal or financial stress.

Integrating Long-Term Care into Estate Planning

Planning for long-term care should be part of a broader estate strategy. We help clients incorporate **care provisions** into wills, trusts, and healthcare documents. This includes setting aside funds for specific needs, appointing agents for decision-making, and naming successors who understand your long-term care values. With Perez-Roura Law, your estate plan works in tandem with your care plan—ensuring both are aligned and effective for every phase of aging.

Family Support and Legal Advocacy

Our role isn’t just legal—it’s also personal. We help adult children and caregivers understand Florida law, avoid common pitfalls, and make choices that protect their aging loved ones. We take time to explain options, ease tensions among family members, and provide hands-on help through each step of the planning process. For many families, we become a trusted resource for long-term guidance as care needs evolve over time. Whether you need help today or want to build a plan for the future, we are here to support and advocate for you.
