We Have Been Helping Families File Medicaid Applications since 2003
Larry Levinson was at the forefront of elder law in Delaware back in 2003 when he filed his first Delaware Long-Term Care Medicaid application. Since then, our office has advocated for our clients' asset protection and Medicaid benefits year after year.
Tonya McBride, a former Medicaid caseworker, has been a valued member of our staff since 2006. Not only does Tonya work with our families to get their Medicaid cases processed quickly and accurately, she also advocates on their behalf to the Medicaid caseworkers.
Dawn Young was a fantastic addition to the team in 2009. After all these year, Dawn pushes cases through so quickly, you'd think she worked at the Medicaid office with Tonya back in the '90's!
Allison Fox assists Dawn and Tonya by helping our families gather information. You can often find Allison checking in on a client at home, or meeting an overwhelmed caregiver at the bank to help request verifications for the Medicaid office.
Among our many claims to fame? We were the first law firm in Delaware authorized to bypass the in-person Medicaid meeting at the state service centers. That's right-- working with us on your loved one's Medicaid application means you do not have to have any meetings with the Medicaid office; we handle all communication for our clients.
We are here to help your loved one get Medicaid support without having to use up all their savings. We'll help bust the myth that you need to go broke to qualify for Medicaid and help reduce stress and surprises along the way!
Proven Knowledge of Medicaid Eligibility and Processes
Our team works to make the Medicaid process smooth and swift, even if you're facing an urgent situation. We don't just give advice and leave you to figure out the paperwork; we're with you every step of the way, filling out the forms and sorting out any issues until everything's approved. At The Levinson Firm, we've helped lots of folks just like you keep their savings safe while getting the Medicaid help they need. Let's get through this together!
Protect Your Family When Your Loved One is Already Paying for Care in a Nursing Home or through a Home Care Agency
Discovering that a loved one needs to move into a nursing home (skilled nursing) can really catch you off guard. The emotional part is tough enough; then you learn the price tag. In 2025, the median cost for nursing home care is trending around $15,000 per month ($498 per day), and assisted living isn't much cheaper - somewhere around $8,000 per month ($250 per day). Home care is approaching $35 per hour through an agency. That's a lot of money for any family to handle, and given Medicare does not pay for long-term care, that's where Medicaid can be a lifesaver. But figuring out where to start and what to do can be overwhelming.

Here's where we can step in and help. Our expertise is helping families come up with a plan and get the benefits they're entitled to.
