Robert W. Haley

Certified Elder Law Attorney® Robert W. Haley brings over 27 years of legal expertise and knowledge to his firm, which concentrates solely on the areas of elder law, estate planning (Last Will & Testaments, Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, Trusts, etc.,.) Asset Protection/Medicaid Planning and fiduciary services. For many years, Robert practiced in real estate law, and in general practice, but decided to narrow his focus to elder law and estate planning when he realized the tremendous need for proper planning to be filled in Southside Virginia.

CMS Announces $165M to Support Home Care, Reduce ‘America’s Over-Reliance’ on Nursing Homes! The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). took a new step to support care transitions from long-term care facilities and nursing homes into home- and community-based settings.

On Wednesday, CMS announced the availability of up to $165 million in supplemental funding to states (including Virginia) currently operating Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration programs. MFP programs allow certain Medicaid users, including older adults, to more seamlessly transition from a nursing home or institution back into the home, only if they desire to do so.

“The tragic devastation wrought by the Coronavirus on nursing home residents exposes America’s over-reliance on institutional long-term care facilities,” CMS Administrator Seema Verma said in the agency’s announcement. “Residential care will always be an essential part of the care continuum, but our goal must always be to give residents options that help keep our loved ones in their own homes and communities for as long as possible.”

Mr. Haley and his staff are excellent! They were quick to respond when I had questions. Mr. Haley guided us through the court process - we could not have done it without him and his team. Special thanks to Cheyenne and Grace!

I recently had the pleasure of having my will created with the Estate & Elder Law Center of Southside Virginia, PLLC. To be honest I did not know where to begin. The legal specialist, Cheyenne, offered me a variety of times to meet with Mr. Robert Haley, attorney, to discuss and explain the process. I have to admit Cheyenne was extremely patient and professional every step of the way. Unfortunately, I can be scatter-brained and found myself apologizing for not responding to her emails as quickly as I would have liked, but she maintained a cheerful and encouraging demeanor every step of the way. When I arrived for my first meeting with Mr. Haley I found him to be punctual, prepared, knowledgeable, and friendly. He spent at least an hour listening to my concerns and answering all the questions I had. Within a week Cheyenne sent me the draft of my documents. Once again, it took me a while to review them, and Cheyenne continued to maintain an abundance of grace and patience. Finally, when it was time to sign my documents the notary, Mrs. Cricket Haley, bent over backwards to make the process as convenient for me as possible. All parties reassured me every step of the way that if anything ever needed to be change, I simply needed to contact them and they would follow up accordingly. I must say this law firm is not only efficient, professional, and competent, but they are kind and supportive of the people they serve. If you are seeking this type of representation, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
