I live in Mississippi. My mom has dementia and lives in Missouri. Can I hire an attorney or Medicaid specialist in MS? Will it carry over to Missouri? What would be my best option? I have no time to waste as, she is going downhill rapidly. Thank you in advance!
While Medicaid is a federal program, it is administered by the states. Each state administers it a bit differently and has slightly different rules. You might want to find a lawyer in your mother's state using the Find a Lawyer function of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
