Our professional staff excels at helping clients understand the medical services that are available to them, and helps to obtain these services.

Beacon Eldercare, through our Geriatric Care Management services, provides assistance with applying for Medicaid, which assists with the cost of live-in or hourly home aid service providers, or with nursing services.

We provide a variety of choices and options so you can decide what the best course of action is and you can make an informed and knowledgeable choice regarding healthcare. We want you to be protected so that you preserve your assets, while still obtaining quality care for a loved one.

“By helping our clients understand the difference between Medicare and Medicaid, Beacon Eldercare helps to choose the right plan for you,” says CEO, Yvonne M. Murphy MA, MSW.

Medicare is a system of health care for citizens over 65 and/or disabled.

Medicare is something that you’ve worked towards for years, but it’s only a limited health care service. Medicare doesn’t pay for chronic illness; it only pays for hospital stays. Medicare pays for short clinical events in the home providing limited home care after a hospital or rehabilitation stay.  Furthermore, it doesn’t pay for long-term home care services or skilled nursing facilities, two expensive forays that can drain a bank account or force someone to have to move.

The best way to combat the shortcomings of Medicare is by correctly applying for Medicaid.

The Medicaid application is an exhaustive process and must align with the policies and regulations of the New York State Department of Social Services.

Beacon Eldercare Inc., led by Yvonne Murphy MA, has more than two decades of experience assisting clients in NYC to successfully achieve Medicaid eligibility.

By having Medicaid, you are able to have assistance with your health insurance, and home care services.

Contact Beacon Eldercare, Inc., today to ensure your Medicaid application is filed properly.

Call us to set yourself up to receive the medical services that you need without having to worry about losing everything that you worked so hard to obtain.

Although we are located in Queens, NY, it does not limit our ability to assist you.

We service residents in any of the five boroughs of New York City; Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx.  We have been extremely successful in filing applications in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Westchester County, Dutchess County, Rockland, and Orange County as well.

The Best Insurance Coverage in the World Does Not Ensure a Comprehensive Care Plan

Too many seniors and their families don’t take advantage of the many options available to have individualized services that match their particular needs and lifestyle.

Some of the items we provide assistance with:

  • Filing Medicaid applications
  • Explaining Medicare and HMO benefits
  • Arranging live-in and hourly homecare agencies through insurance or private pay
  • Assisting financial planning and household responsibilities
  • Linking to community services and support groups
