Happy 2020! We hope that this year is off to an excellent start for you and your family. As we came back into the office after the break, we started to get an uptick in calls from people who were concerned about mental or physical changes they noticed in their older loved ones over the holidays. This is actually a common thing we hear in January and February; when you get together with family members who you don't see that much during the year, the level of decline that you might notice can be shocking and alarming. If you had a similar experience over the holiday season with an older loved one, it may be time to get together with an attorney to learn your options for taking over control of his or her affairs or how to secure the next level of long-term care that is appropriate (home health care, assisted living, nursing home, etc.).  If we can help you get started, feel free to call the office at 260-969-1177 and ask to schedule a consultation.
