Wichita’s Elder Law Firm for Medicaid Planning

Wichita’s Elder Law Firm for Medicaid Planning

October 30, 20254 min read

When it comes to long-term care, many families in Wichita are caught off guard. The moment you hear, “Medicare won’t cover it,” the panic sets in—How are we going to pay for this?

That’s where elder law attorneys come in.

At Advanced Legal Planning, we help families like yours navigate Medicaid, protect their life savings, and ensure loved ones receive the care they need—without losing everything.

Whether you’re facing an immediate nursing home admission or simply preparing for what lies ahead, our team in Wichita is here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and experience.

What Is Elder Law?

Elder law focuses on the unique legal needs of older adults and their families, especially when it comes to:

  • Long-term care and nursing home planning

  • Medicaid eligibility and asset protection

  • Estate planning, wills, and trusts

  • Guardianship and incapacity planning

  • Special needs planning and elder abuse protection

In short, elder law ensures that your financial, legal, and personal needs are honored—now and in the future.

Why Medicaid Planning Is at the Heart of Elder Law

The average monthly cost of nursing home care in Kansas is over $8,000. That’s nearly $100,000 per year—and it can quickly deplete a lifetime of savings.

Wichita elder law attorneys help clients:

  • Qualify for Medicaid while preserving assets

  • Use legal tools like trusts, annuities, and caregiver contracts

  • Navigate the 5-year lookback period

  • Avoid penalties, delays, and denials

  • Ensure spouses and loved ones are protected financially

We provide Medicaid planning for both pre-crisis (early planning) and crisis (care needed now) situations.

How We Help Wichita Families

Every family we serve in Wichita has a unique story. Our approach is tailored—not cookie-cutter. Here’s how we help:

1. Legal Education and Strategy

We begin by learning your goals, concerns, and current financial picture. Then we educate you on your options, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

2. Customized Medicaid Planning

Our attorneys create legal plans that align with Kansas Medicaid rules while protecting:

  • Your family home

  • Retirement accounts

  • Life savings

  • Income for a well spouse

  • Quality of life for your loved one in care

3. Guidance Through the Medicaid Process

Applying for Medicaid is complex, and a single mistake can lead to denial or penalties. We handle applications, documentation, and follow-ups to make sure everything is done right the first time.

4. Ongoing Support and Updates

Laws change. So do life circumstances. That’s why we stay available to you long after the initial plan is in place. We keep your estate and Medicaid strategies up to date.

Real Kansas Families. Real Results.

We believe in transparency and real-world education. Visit our Story Time video page to hear true stories from Kansas families—like yours—who faced overwhelming challenges and found peace of mind through proper legal planning.
