Frequently asked questions about Medicaid Planning

Can I still qualify for Medicaid if I own a home?

Yes, homeownership doesn’t automatically disqualify you. With the right Medicaid planning, you may still be eligible.

What if my income is above Medicaid’s monthly limits?

You may qualify through a Pooled Income Trust (PIT). We’ll help you set this up so your excess income doesn’t impact your eligibility.

How long does the Medicaid application process take?

It depends on your specific case, but in general, the Human Resources Administration (HRA) must make a determination within 45 days of receiving your application.

Does Medicaid cover home care services?

Yes. If you qualify for a Managed Long-Term Care Plan (MLTCP), you may receive home care services based on your level of need.

As a homecare provider myself, I cannot say how impressed and happy I am with Individual Home Care. In the world of home care it is important to be hands on, caring, compassionate and readily available if and when there are issues. Charles and his staff are all of those things. I have gotten to see Charles on many occasions speak with our mutual clients and clients of his own. It is always done so with care, real time advice and direction, and a top priority to Charles and staff. They are able to smoothly navigate Medicaid and any bumps in the road that come with the process. I strongly recommend every and all of our clients to Charles with extreme confidence on a daily basis. Thank you Individual Home Care!!!!!

I recently switched my agency to Individual Home Care. I was with my last agency for 13 year for my 35 year old son. What I thought would be a stressful transfer was not! The staff at Individual are phenomenal and I can’t say enough good things about the HHA’s. They are so kind, compassionate, and caring. Thank you Individual!!!
