Monday Memo:
Diversion - It's Back!! 
 
Greetings!
 
For some, there is a little known Medicaid "secret" that needs to be told and a myth that needs to be "busted".  The secret is the Long Term Care Diversion Program and the myth is that it is only for the poor or indigent.

The Long Term Care Diversion Program is a Medicaid program designed with the sole purpose of providing frail seniors with services which will allow them to remain at home or live in an assisted living community; as the name implies, the program "diverts" those seniors away from nursing homes.  This program is available to ANYONE who meets the qualification criteria.  Funding has been limited and sadly there are many who were not able to participate in the Program even though they met the financial and medical criteria; however, you will be happy to know that funding is available once again!

Approved applicants generally receive $700-$900 toward their care in an assisted living community or up to 20 hours per week of in-home care.  There are a total of 10 requirements that need to be met in order to receive the Program benefits. Two of those requirements involve financial eligibility and filing for any other benefits, such as Veterans Benefits, to which the applicant may be entitled.  Please contact our office regarding Medicaid planning and eligibility and/or applying for VA Benefits.

To whom it may concern:
I have been dealing with the law firm of Alice Reiter Feld since June of 2008 regarding the health care of my father. They have been knowledgeable and responsive in the issue of eldercare and always have time for me when I call. I am managing my fathers care from a long distance and they make a difficult task very manageable.
I would recommend this firm to anyone with an elder care question or concern.  They know the ropes of a difficult and confusing issue with many pitfalls and can advise you how to navigate a very trying time in any family.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Jenney

Dear Alice,
It was a little over a year ago when I was given your name and number by my Income Tax man. I was alone, filing a joint return, and my husband home, unable to participate in what had been his responsibility up until then. My husband and I had, for a few years, covered up his "memory loss" and I could not hide his condition any longer. We were alone, isolated (our own fault) and I did not know where to turn. That step, calling your office, saved us both. We had no idea of where to begin, how to navigate "the system" etc.
Thanks to your compassionate, caring, knowledgeable staff; under the kindest, sharpest, most energetic, hands on guidance from you, a year later we are seeing the "light at the end" and my husband is happy in his care. He is where he belongs! Thanks to you all!
