What A Jurist Law Group, PLLC Elder Care Lawyer Does For You

What an elder care lawyer does depends on several things. These factors include:

• Who you are in relation to the individual(s) in question, i.e., whether you are the individual themself or their child, for example.
• The exact situation you or your loved ones are in.
• At what point in your situation or life you seek out support.

Suppose your parents, for example, are not living in an assisted living facility and thus not being taken advantage of by its staff. In that case, they would not need legal advice or representation for an elder abuse lawsuit. Or suppose you seek out legal services when still in good health while living on your own. In that case, we would proactively start your elder care planning if it had not been prior. We would not begin healthcare planning if that is something you had already taken care of or did not particularly need due to your good health.

Medicaid Planning

Many rely on Medicaid to cover their living expenses, especially health care or long-term care, after retirement. Unfortunately, these costs otherwise quickly dissolve life savings. Optimizing Medicaid law and maximizing your benefits is an effective way to preserve your savings and avoid financial ruin. We steer you clear of all look-back periods so you are in the best position possible throughout retirement.

Long-Term Care

The average time in long-term care is two and a half years at $75,000 a year. If your situation in Benton, Arkansas, requires a longer duration or is more expensive than average, the cost will only increase. Do not scramble at the last minute to find funds to cover these expenses. Prepare well in advance for this ever-increasing ordinary reality.
