Long-Term Care Strategies that Benefit You and Your Loved Ones
Concerns about affording long-term care are common for many Texas seniors and their loved ones. Living in an assisted living facility is expensive because of the many healthcare services provided to residents. Even for those who opt to remain in their homes and have a caregiver, paying for this care takes a significant financial toll and requires careful planning.
The long-term care planning attorneys at SMC ESQ PLLC can help you prepare for this need through a variety of strategies and services, including:
- Asset protection trusts
- Disability planning
- Creating life estates
- Spousal transfers
- Qualified Income Trusts (Miller Trusts)
- Caregiver agreements
- Medicaid eligibility preservation
- Establishing powers of attorney
- Verifying asset categorization for Medicaid income eligibility
- VA long-term care benefits application assistance
- Avoidance of Medicaid Estate Recovery
- LTC admissions review
The long-term care planning lawyers at SMC ESQ PLLC aim to maximize the financial benefit of your protected assets while minimizing the expense of assisted living for you and those you love.
While these conversations between loved ones can be difficult to start, having open and transparent discussions about your goals as well as potential challenges can make it easier to identify the best options for everyone.

Dedicated Assistance Qualifying for Long-Term Care in Texas
For many seniors 65 and older, finding assistance when long-term care is unaffordable can be overwhelming. Applying for VA or Medicaid assisted living benefits is challenging and frequently results in application denials over trivial mistakes.
The law offices of SMC ESQ PLLC can help you through this process by determining what assets you have and how to protect them through trusts and other financial solutions. This is a crucial step in the process due to the look-back period used by Medicaid to determine income eligibility.
Ensuring your assets are correctly categorized for this determination will help you avoid delays and get the assisted living benefits you need when the time comes.
