Legal and health issues created by illness, aging, disability, dementia, and other chronic conditions can be terrifying. Elders have a legal right to effective and patient-centered heath care. They should receive quality long-term care in quality facilities when needed. Elders should not lose their home, or impoverish themselves, their spouses or their families because they are victims of terrible illnesses, from which there is no recovery.
Many illnesses are so incapacitating that the elder requires skilled nursing or care facilities, at an exorbitant cost.
As an Elder Law Attorney who offers “Life Care Planning” services, we develop a plan that is appropriate for your loved one’s circumstances. You and your family can relax knowing that you are surrounded with legal support and care coordination from experts who are familiar with every aspect of your situation.
Many elders need assistance in finding proper care, coordinating that care, and paying for that care. Often the elder does not know what the options are, what is the best route to take, or how to get the help they need. Asset protection is important due to the very high cost of long-term care. Families need help navigating the maze of these and other senior issues. They need help with decision-making as the elder’s health declines. Our Elder Care Coordinators are nurses who provide advocacy services that empower family caregivers and protect the quality of life for the elder. They are often the “voice” of our clients, assisting them with the many issues that arise, and helping them choose the right path in our very complex medical/legal world.
Trusts, wills, asset protection, advocacy for proper care, Medi-Cal, VA benefits, insurance issues, Medicare, and much more — it is all part of “Life Care Planning.” Quality of life and dignity are essential for every elder. Our Law Firm team strives to provide this for each one of our clients.
