Current Medical Needs
- What medications are you taking, and for what conditions? Do you or a family member need help with any daily activities? Talking about your medical needs in an open and honest way is crucial in getting the best plan for your situation.
Long Term Care
- Do you see long term care in your future? If so, where would you like to receive that care? How would you pay for it? Elder Law Attorneys are experienced in analyzing the different options for paying for long-term care. From long term care insurance, to Veteran benefits, to Medicaid, to private paying, there are many ways to make this essential care affordable. The sooner you plan, the more likely you can preserve your assets.
Veteran Status
- Did you know that wartime veterans or surviving spouses who need assistance can receive monthly cash payments to help defray care costs.
- Speaking with an Elder Law Attorney is a great way to see which benefits you may qualify for.
End of Life Considerations
- Have you filled out an Advanced Directive for Healthcare? Have you thought about what you would consider “quality of life” at the end of life? What would you prefer to do when it comes to artificial food and hydration, artificial ventilation, heart medication to stimulate heart function, and other important decisions?
- An Elder Law Attorney can help you discuss these questions and draft a document that makes your desires plain to your loved ones and decision makers.
Living Arrangements
- If you are unable to remain in your home, would you like to move to an Independent or Assisted Living Facility? Under what circumstances would you consider this?
- Discussing these options with an Elder Law Attorney can be a great way to get an objective view regarding your situation. We can assist you in weighing the various options and help guide you to the best decision for you & your family.
