The decision to place a parent in a Connecticut nursing home is always a difficult one. Perhaps the move is being made because your parent can no longer care for him or herself…or perhaps your parent has a progressive disease like Alzheimer’s…or has had a stroke or heart attack.

No matter the reason, the family is almost always under great stress. Unfortunately the financial and personal demands of being a caregiver only make it even more difficult.

How do you find the time to take care of your parent when your own spouse and children need you as well?

How do you make the most of the time you have with your parent while fighting your way through the red tape that comes with nursing homes and applying for Connecticut Medicaid benefits?

Will you be held responsible for mistakes you make while signing documents and making decisions for your parent?

The transition to full time nursing home care comes with important legal consequences for the parent as well as the caregiver child. One mistake can result in a caregiver child being personally sued by the nursing home for a parent’s monthly bill or delay a parent’s eligibility for Medicaid benefits.

There is help available.
