“As we confront the demands of our changing world … we also confront our own demands that we work together to create a world in which we can all age with dignity and purpose.” |

Fulfilling the physical and mental health needs of our growing, elderly population is a national priority. Americans today live longer than ever before, often surviving major, acute illnesses or injuries that proved fatal in the past. As a result, our elderly population often requires extensive health care services at the end of life.
The attorneys in our Long-Term Care Group offer expert legal assistance to clients providing these vital services. Long-term care facilities constitute the firm’s single largest group of institutional health care clients. Our attorneys have thorough knowledge of this highly regulated industry, and are intimately aware of the complex and often daunting legal issues that pervade the business. We serve as either general or special counsel to more than 300 long-term care facilities located throughout New York State, including both non-profit and for-profit facilities.
Additionally, for almost 20 years, the firm has been retained by the New York State Health Facilities Association (NYSHFA), as well as individual long-term care facilities throughout the state, as special litigation counsel for complex Medicaid reimbursement rate challenges in the state and federal courts. We have also served as special counsel to other statewide associations in both litigation and advisory matters concerning long-term care.
HSE’s health care litigation team has achieved notable success for our long-term care clients, recovering more than $250 million since 1990 from the government in several groundbreaking legal actions challenging New York’s Medicaid rate-setting system. Whether advising health providers in the long-term care arena or advocating their interests in the courtroom, our attorneys actively partner with clients to achieve practical and valuable results.
