Elder Law Caregiver Series...

Continuing with our caregiver theme, people often ask about the things they should be asking themselves and their loved ones as they plan for the future. 

We identified a half-dozen of these questions in our previous post. Here are some additional questions for you to think about, which might help you identify goals and what is important to you.

• Do I expect family members to help me as I age?

• What supports are available to help me live independent from my family?

• Will I be able to take care of my own needs without help from other family members or government programs?

• Do I have knowledge about the resources that are available to me to assist with my planning?

• Am I living a healthy lifestyle and taking care of myself?

• Do I have a plan in place in the event of an emergency

There are many resources available to help with these issues; please contact your elder law attorney for assistance.
