If you do happen to answer the phone, you should hang up immediately if the caller is trying to sell you something. Just tell the caller no regarding any prizes, requests for money from people you don’t know and requests for money from religious and charitable organizations.
Another red flag for elder abuse that we have seen is the sudden advent of relatives or old friends, who have not been seen for years, who are now expressing great concern and interest in “helping” the older person.

Swimming With Grandchildren Without A Pool!
I can’t help myself talking about our grandkids, at least one more time. My wife and I have two grandchildren, a boy 4 and a girl 2 ½. Both kids “stayed over” a couple of weekends ago.

Don’t Wait Too Long To Update Trust & Fin. DPA

What Happens If You Don’t Die?
Most estate planning documents are prepared for what happens when we die. They are not prepared for what happens if we don’t die. With regard to the trust, if one spouse dies, for instance, everything goes to the other spouse. When the second spouse dies, everything goes to the children. During the lives of the […]

When choosing an assisted living facility for a loved one who suffers from dementia, certain things should be taken into account regarding the facility. More and more assisted living facilities can now accommodate residents with various levels of dementia. Some facilities have separate wings or dementia units. I have visited many assisted living facilities, and have many clients with […]
