Elder Law Legal Services
We confront some of the most financially and emotionally difficult challenges during our senior years. Elder Law is a rapidly changing legal field that addresses issues such as financial exploitation, health care decisions, and paying for long term care expenses.
With conditions such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, dementia, lewy body syndrome, or general frailty, long term care is eventually necessary for well more than half of us. Some individuals may have a family member serve as a caregiver. For others, care at home, in an assisted living facility, or in a nursing facility can be financially devastating, with costs for care ranging from a few thousand dollars a month up to approximately $11,000 a month for care in a skilled nursing facility.
Since Medicare does not cover most long term care, families who do not have the insurance to pay for long term care may be forced to rush critical decisions on care providers, risk their standard of living, or face potential liens on their home.
