Who Can answer My Questions About Alzheimer’s?

By Rick Law of the Elder Law and Estate Plannning firm of Law Elder Law, LLP in west Suburban Chicagoland.

I hear it all the time, and it breaks my heart…

Clients come into my office with questions regarding their loved ones illness, and often times, they don’t know who to go to for the answers.  Alzheimer’s is a particularly cruel disease, as an aging parent may lose the ability to care for themselves, or even recognize their life-long spouse.

Thankfully, the staff at Law Elder Law in Aurora, IL is experienced at answering pressing questions related to Alzheimer’s disease, such as:

  • How do we get health care for the my recently diagnosed loved one?
  • What options are available for health care?
  • How are these options going to affect the patient and their family/spouse?
  • What is the long-term outlook for everyone?
  • How can we protect the family assets?

Most lawyers are not accustomed to dealing with a client with Alzheimer’s and probably are not prepared to answer these types of questions. Thankfully there is help available, so you’re not left alone when you a guiding hand the most.

Law Elder Law is a team of legal professionals that will have the knowledge needed to answer these questions and guide you through the arduous journey of dealing with Alzheimer’s disease.

Before the questions can be answered, we need to be able to identify the signs signifying the onset of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Unfortunately, the initial signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia are usually the most difficult to spot. It may be months or longer before family members realize that a loved one is forgetting a few too many things or is confused too frequently. Often, these first signs are dismissed as “natural aging.” However, neither Alzheimer’s nor dementia is a natural part of growing old.

Our Reviews

My wife and I had our first child three years ago. That’s when we decided to set up a trust, should anything happen to either of us. We reached out to Zach Hesselbaum to help us out. He was very thorough and professional throughout the whole process. Zach went above and beyond to make sure that we understood every detail of setting it up and he did an excellent job. We recently had our second child a few months ago. With the new baby, he helped us make the necessary revisions to the trust. Zach made this process great for us! I would definitely recommend using him for any of your estate planning needs!
