How can an elder law attorney  help either me or my loved one?
An elder law attorney can assist with all manner of end of life planning and needs. As we age, specific needs for care and medical assistance increase and can have a significant impact on quality of life and personal finances. Parks and Meade can create a plan for you to help with changing needs over time, which can include planning for in home care, assisted living, nursing homes, paying for long-term care, Medicaid and veterans benefits applications and eligibility, elder abuse protection, and other elder-related legal issues.

​Long terms costs can eat away at the wealth that was accumulated across a lifetime. Medical care is expensive, and Medicaid is complicated and has a great number of regulations.

Decisions related to advanced care planning should not be made lightly. Discuss your situation and family’s needs with a lawyer today at 614-389-1038, or schedule a consultation below.
