Rhode Island Elder Care Lawyer Blog

Announcing the Long Term Care Planning Blog

Counseling clients facing the prospect of $10,000 per month nursing home costs and other costs of long term care is perhaps the most challenging aspect of the practice of Elder Law. For in addition to knowing substantive law in areas ranging from public benefits to tax planning, the Elder Law practitioner must be aware of community resources such as geriatric care managers, client-centered financial advisors, and excellent providers of long term care services.

That is why I am delighted to announce the launch of a new blog devoted to long term care planning,  The Long Term Care Planning Blog is hosted on the Law Professor Blogs Network. As an adjunct law professor at Roger Williams University Law School and a certified elder law attorney (CELA) I will be serving as the blog’s editor. The best part is that nationally known practitioners and other professionals whom I am known or admired for decades have agree to serve as contributing editors, including:

Some of the topics we’ve covered since our launch include end of life discussions, preparing for the high cost of nursing home stays, the special training and skills required to properly help veterans, benefits for permanently disabled adult children, and what is Elder Law?.

We look forward to covering many more issues related to long term care planning over the coming weeks and months, and invite you to leave feedback and questions using the blog’s comment system, or directly to me or any of our authors via email, which you will find beside our pictures at the bottom of the blog homepage.
