Assisted Living & Nursing Home Admission

New Jersey Assisted-Living and Nursing home Admission Attorneys

Admitting a parent to a nursing home or assisted-living facility in New Jersey can be a stressful event for a family. At the law firm of Sharp Bratton in Haddon Heights and Lawrenceville, our lawyers speak the language and understand the concepts of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. We provide admission services, including advising families concerning:

• What levels of care are available
• What financial information needs to be disclosed on a nursing home or assisted-living application (and what information does not need to be disclosed)
• How Medicare works and what it covers
• Medicaid-planning and asset protection.
• Powers of attorney and guardianship proceedings
• Whether you should continue paying insurance premiums
• Patient rights

Our elder law attorneys do much more than help our clients deal with the financial aspects of an admission to a nursing home or assisted-living facility. We have access to geriatric care managers and have developed a special sensitivity in helping a family guide a loved one toward placement in an appropriate facility. We are experienced in helping families who have an elderly loved one affected by health conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, and strokes.
