Evergreen Elder Law

If you are a senior citizen, the last thing you want to deal with is an assisted living facility or nursing home. However, if you find yourself in need of long-term care, know that there are many things you can do to prepare for the future and protect yourself from financial fraud. In this article, we will discuss some common questions asked by seniors who may need assistance with their finances or estate planning.

What is elder law?

Elder law is the field of law that deals with the legal rights and responsibilities of older adults. It can be broken down into two categories:

• Guardianship
• Estate planning and administration

How can I minimize my risks in an assisted living facility?

• Check out the facility.
• Ask questions, and be sure you know your rights.
• Get a contract. You can get one at any time before you move into an assisted living facility or when you decide to leave, so long as it’s in writing and approved by both parties (see below). It’s also important to check with your doctor or another health provider if any changes in their medical situation might affect how they would like their care handled when they get older–
• For example, if they have an illness like Parkinson’s Disease which could affect movement or balance issues later on in life; these should be included in any agreements made between family members who want someone else caring for them after death occurs.* Get independent advice from a lawyer about what steps need to be taken before moving into an assisted living facility.* Check out this website: https://www.elder law info/elder law-resources/legal-resources

What are the best ways to protect me from financial fraud?

• What is financial fraud?

Financial fraud is any kind of deception or trickery that involves a person’s money or property. For example, someone could use a fake check or credit card to take money out of your account without your permission. Or they could steal your identity and open up credit cards in your name without your knowledge.

• How can I protect myself from financial fraud?

You can protect yourself from financial fraud by using online banking services like PayPal and Google Wallet, which allow you to send money securely through the internet. These services also make it easier for people who want to receive payments on their credit cards but don’t have access to an address where they can accept deliveries at home (like pets). This is especially important if you live alone because burglars may not break into houses with anyone at home during normal business hours!

Can I make a good decision if I need long-term care?

You can make a good decision if you need long-term care.

You will need to consider the cost of the care and how it compares with your current resources.

You may want to consider your financial situation, including whether or not any assets could be sold to help pay for what you need.

You will also want to consider the quality of the care being provided by someone else, as well as their ability to provide it adequately for you over time.

The internet is one way to learn more about what happens when someone needs an assisted living facility or nursing home placement.

If you aren’t sure where else to turn for answers about getting older parents into a nursing home or assisted living facility (or even just staying at home), call the hospital or clinic where they’re currently receiving treatment–you could inquire about available facilities near where they live so long as those facilities offer beds specifically designed for older patients.
