I hear it all the time, and it breaks my heart… Clients come into my office with questions regarding their loved ones illness, and often times, they don’t know who to go to for the answers.  Alzheimer’s is a particularly cruel disease, as an aging parent may lose the ability to care for themselves, or even recognize their life-long spouse.

  • How are these options going to affect the patient and their family/spouse?
  • What is the long-term outlook for everyone?
  • How can we protect the family assets?

Thankfully there is help available, so you’re not left alone when you a guiding hand the most.
