Client Testimonial
“Amanda and her team assisted with my grandfather’s end of life affairs. I can’t say enough about her handling of a very difficult situation. She was extraordinarily empathetic and at the same time extremely professional. It really felt like she was part of family. I highly recommend Kania Law if you need any services related to elder care.”

Paying for Long Term Care
Planning for long-term care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. We help families understand their options, protect their assets, and find solutions that make quality care affordable and sustainable.
Medicaid Planning
- Private pay is expensive and intimidating. Medicaid planning is the process of making a client eligible for Medicaid by addressing an applicant’s income, assets, and recent asset transfers. Your attorney will walk you through each issue.
Preserve Your Assets
- Protect what you've built over a lifetime. Asset preservation strategies shield your savings, home, and investments from long-term care costs. Your attorney can structure assets to maximize protection while maintaining Medicaid eligibility.
Medicare Isn't Enough
- Medicare will only pay for 100 days of skilled nursing or rehab in a lifetime and of those 100 days, only the first 20 are fully covered. Medicare will only pay this limited benefit after you spend 3 days admitted into the hospital.
Plan Now
- Medicaid planning and estate planning overlap. It is important to work with your attorney and plan accordingly. Clients should have an advanced directive, durable power of attorney, living will, and will or trust.
