Finding and paying for long-term care are two major concerns for the elderly and those with disabilities. At Bivens & Associates, we understand that managing the expenses of long-term care is an important consideration, and we’ve helped numerous individuals and families find solutions.

A significant portion of our elder law practice involves rendering advice in such areas as long-term care insurance, Medicare, VA benefits and Medicaid (i.e., Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) benefits). Long-term care planning is the hallmark of elder law. It often comes as a surprise to families that Medicare does not pay for long-term care (e.g., non-medical home care, adult day care, assisted living, adult care home, memory care, or skilled nursing care beyond 100 days), the cost of which can easily exhaust your savings.

If you are concerned about affording qualify long term care for yourself or a loved one, our elder law attorneys can analyze your options and help you make the right decisions. If ALTCS is right for you, we can handle the application from start to finish. Hundreds of families have turned to us when they are dealing with the endless red tape of applying for benefits to pay for care, or safeguarding loved ones so they do not end up out of money and out of options. We can help you find solutions for your legal problems and financial frustrations, as well as find quality support and services. Whether you are planning for the future or dealing with a crisis, we can help.
