Mom is cared for, and the family can make decisions for her.
Where you are
"Mom has dementia. Will the nursing home take everything?"
You're watching someone you love change, and you're scared about what comes next: who can make decisions, how to pay for care, and whether the house and savings she worked for will be gone.
What's really going on
Often nobody has legal authority to make decisions for her. Banks, doctors, and care facilities may not talk to the family without the right documents. At the same time, long-term care costs are a real threat to everything she owns, and time is running out. Once capacity is lost, options narrow and families can end up in court asking for a guardianship or conservatorship.
How we get you there
- Powers of Attorney so a trusted family member can handle finances and legal matters
- Health Care Directives and HIPAA Authorizations so the family can talk to doctors and make medical decisions
- Medicaid crisis planning and asset protection to help preserve what can be protected
- Long-term care and life care planning so the family has a roadmap
- Guardianship and conservatorship guidance when documents are no longer an option
Where you'll land
Mom gets the care she needs, the family has the legal authority to make decisions for her, and you've protected what you can. You can go back to being her child, not just her crisis manager.
Time matters in these situations. The sooner we talk, the more options your family has.
