Elder Care Law
Elder Law focuses on older adults and their needs over a broad range of legal fields rather than any one specific legal area or problem.
How We Can Help
Long-Term Care & Medicaid Planning
The cost of nursing home care and other long-term care services can place a significant burden on individuals and families. Understanding Medicaid eligibility rules and available planning options can help you prepare for care expenses and protect financial resources to the extent permitted by law.

Conservatorships & Guardianships
When an older adult can no longer manage personal or financial affairs independently, family members may need to explore legal options for providing support and protection. We help families understand conservatorships, guardianships, and less restrictive alternatives that may be available.

Planning for What Lies Ahead
Every family's circumstances are different. You may be planning ahead for your own future, helping an aging parent, or responding to an immediate need for care. Understanding your options can help you make informed decisions and determine what steps may be appropriate.
Estate planning documents, including powers of attorney and health care advance directives, may also play an important role in preparing for future care needs.
