When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, many challenges come along with the diagnosis. This month we will help you determine the answers to questions such as:
- What types of treatment and care are best for your loved one?
- How will you deal with the constant worry over care and finances?
- How will you take care of your loved one as the disease progresses?
- Can your loved one remain at home?
- If your loved one needs to go to a nursing home, how will you possibly pay for the ongoing costs without going broke?
We will also take a closer look at some of the more complex aspects of planning for the care of a loved one with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease, including:
- Planning steps
- Strategies
- Important documents
- Power of Attorney
- Estate Planning
- Medicaid
- VA Benefits
The first thing you should do after your loved one receives a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease is to contact a Cleveland elder law attorney. Trying to navigate the planning process on your own could leave you making common mistakes that can greatly impact your loved one’s future care.
