Lafayette Medicaid Planning Attorneys

Long-term care shouldn’t mean sacrificing everything you’ve built. At Oak Grove Estate Planning, our Lafayette Medicaid planning attorneys help families protect their assets while preparing for the healthcare support they may need—now or in the future.

Protecting What You’ve Earned Without Compromising Care

Nursing home costs in Louisiana can quickly drain a family’s life savings. Many assume they must spend down everything before qualifying for Medicaid, but that’s simply not true. With proper planning, you can preserve your financial legacy while ensuring access to essential long-term care.

At Oak Grove Estate Planning, we guide Lafayette families through this complex process with clarity and compassion. Our attorneys build personalized Medicaid strategies that protect what matters most—your home, your savings, and your peace of mind.

Planning Early Makes All the Difference

The best time to prepare for long-term care is before a health crisis strikes. Louisiana follows a five-year “lookback period” for Medicaid, meaning certain asset transfers made within five years of applying can trigger penalties or delays. Early planning avoids these setbacks and gives you more flexibility and control.

Even if care isn’t needed today, our Lafayette team can help you put safeguards in place for the future. And if you or a loved one is already facing an immediate need for nursing home care, we’ll move quickly to find legal solutions that maximize benefits while protecting assets.
