Elder Law is an area of the law that addresses issues affecting the elderly, including estate planning, retirement benefits, coordination and financing of elder care, governmental benefits (Social Security, Medicaid, etc.), protecting the elderly from abuse, and advocating for the rights of the elderly.  EPS' attorneys, staff, and Elder Care Coordinator, assist the elderly and their families every day with these and other issues.

Medicaid Planning

One the biggest fears of the elderly is that they or their spouse will have to enter a nursing home and that their entire life savings will be consumed as a result. EPS assists seniors protect their assets from being consumed by nursing home care costs.  This involves, among other things, counseling them on how to protect their assets and income with proper planning under the Medicaid rules.

Elder Transitions Planning™

Our Elder Transitions Planning™ program provides our elderly clients, and their family, a "roadmap" of the options that are available to help pay for each level of elder care, including in-home care, assisted living care, and nursing home level care.   Our clients and their family find great peace of mind from having a plan of action in place ahead of time, rather than operating in "emergency mode" when something happens to them.
