Most people wish to stay out of a nursing home for as long as possible. However, there often comes a time when long term home health care services are needed to help keep us safe. If done properly, these services can maintain a loved one in their own home or assisted living for years. Paying for that care, on the other hand, can be very expensive and drain a person’s life savings. Gratefully, New York has one of the most robust and accessible Medicaid programs that can pay for that care within your own assisted living environment. Community Medicaid, as it’s called, has been a lifesaver for New York families for years.
