Are You A Caregiver?
Caregivers play a vitally important role for family members and loved ones who need help coping with a serious illness, an injury, or with the effects of aging. Unfortunately, caregivers often face a lot of stress as they put the needs of their family member “patient” first, above their own needs.
Conservatorship
Conservatorship or guardianship could be necessary in circumstances where someone is incapacitated and needs a trusted person to manage his affairs. A conservator has tremendous responsibility and must fulfill his obligations to the best of his ability in serving the needs of the incapacitated person.

Life-care planning is a different kind of approach to responding to the chronic illness of an elderly person.

Many people do not understand how important Medicaid benefits can be if they become sick or can no longer live by themselves when they get older. While you may believe Medicaid is a program only for people with low incomes, even middle class and wealthy families often must rely on Medicaid to pay for nursing home care.
Veterans Benefits
If you or a family member served this country, you deserve all of the benefits that you earned. Unfortunately, many veterans are not aware of all of the different programs and services that they could be entitled to take advantage of, or do not understand how to navigate the complex bureaucracy to claim earned benefits.
