Staying Independent

1/1/2016

 
When, how, and whom to ask for help may be questions we have as we age in place.  What help to request, the psychological and emotional barriers to seeking help or coping with change are covered in the downloadable document below.  Facing the future with confidence and staying in control when accepting help from others are ways to ensure you remain independent.  It is important to plan by preparing advance directives (wills, healthcare proxies, powers of attorney), by planning for long-term care, and/or spending down to Medicaid eligibility thresholds. 

More information on these topics as well as some elder law contacts are available in the downloadable files below.
