Thank you for this advice!
What I was talking about is an Elder Law attorney, but now I know from you is there is an Elder Care attorney. How did you find your attorney?

I would think Elder Law and Elder Care are probably the same thing. Actually, our doctor recommended him when I asked if we needed to make any changes legally. He has an excellent reputation as a person; I just did not know his specialty was this type of law. He helped us with wills, power of attorney, setting up a plan if I die first, told us ways to protect our estate incase of an accident, etc. He thought of everything and his goal is to protect us and our assets. It actually gave us a much needed sense of security. Hope you can find someone that will truly care. This disease has so many things to think about that it was nice to have someone with experience and knowledge of the law thinking for us. We have had to use the power of attorney a few times already. Best of wishes to you in finding the right person that truly cares.
