Your long-term care is your choice and your responsibility, and the best time to start planning is before you need nursing home care. At The Elder Firm, LLC, we keep the decisions in your hands by constructing advanced healthcare plans. We walk you through the step-by-step process of organizing your nursing home arrangements, including:

• Deciding on a nursing care facility
• Making financial arrangements to pay for your medical care
• Drafting vital legal documents for the implementation of your plan
  
  

Financing your medical care
Beyond the emotional toll, the failing health of a loved one can lead families into financial crisis. You can avoid the risk of financial ruin by planning ahead for your long-term healthcare. We can guide you and your family toward the most appropriate methods of arranging and financing nursing home, assisted living and in-home services. We devise creative solutions for financing your future medical needs when traditional methods are not viable. Some ways we can help you pay for your care include:

• Medicaid
• Medicare
• Medigap insurance
• Long-term care insurance
• Reverse mortgages
• Veterans programs
  
  

Drafting healthcare documents
The best time to arrange for the unpleasant possibility that you become incapacitated is while you are healthy. If the worst happens and you are prepared, your family is equipped to properly care for you. Your loved ones require powers of attorney to pay your bills and consent to medical treatments. You can express your medical decisions through an advanced directive, crucial in giving your family the peace-of-mind that they have honored your true wishes. After designing a practical medical plan, we draft essential legal documents to ensure your family can effectively execute the plan if necessary.
