New Jersey Medicaid Information
TESTIMONIAL
I’m a World War II Veteran and reside in an assisted living residence in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I hired Mr. Niemann, an attorney recommended to me by my family attorney as a lawyer experienced in elder law and veteran benefits. I hired his firm for asset protection planning, Medicaid for my wife and the filing of an application for Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits. The staff and professionals at Scarinci & Hollenbeck (formerly Hanlon Niemann) were all very capable, responsive and caring. I feel like they are family to me.
My legal affairs were capably and diligently processed and I was able to obtain the benefits my wife and I desperately needed.
I am grateful to Mr. Niemann and will recommend his office to all of my veteran friends.

FEDERAL NURSING HOME SITE NOW NOTES TROUBLED FACILITIES
The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that its Web site comparing nursing homes will now identify facilities that are on its list of those that have a history of poor performance.
From now on, the agency’s Nursing Home Compare site will point out nursing homes that it calls Special Focus Facilities — those that have repeated violations of state and federal health and safety rules and that rank in the worst 5 percent to 10 percent for inspection results in a given state. CMS released the names of the 131 SFF facilities earlier this year, but this is the first time they will be included on the Nursing Home Compare site.
The troubled facilities are identified by a small "2″ in superscript next to a facility’s name.
A Wall Street Journal article on the CMS decision notes that "consumer groups and nursing home officials warn, ...
