More DescriptionThe way of providing for and paying for home care for our seniors in New York is complicated andunwieldy. This book lays out what the home care landscape in New York looks like, with and how tomaneuver around the many obstacles.The author, Lori R. Somekh, Esq., is an elder law attorney who has been assisting clients get Medicaidhome care for the better part of three decades. Change is the only constant in the Medicaid program.The Medicaid program is what we use to fill in the gap that we, as a society, left open as far as how long-term care gets paid for. But for the Medicaid program, seniors who need care would be going bankruptin record numbers.Nevertheless, the Medicaid program is fraught with complexities, constant attempts by the state andfederal governments to gut it and all kinds of myths and misconceptions about eligibility. In this book,the author walks the reader through the process of getting care in place and shines a light on some ofthe aspects of the "system" that keep people dazed and confused.
