The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that there are 5.8 million Americans living today with Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s Association further estimates that every 65 seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with the disease and that by 2050, there will be 14 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer’s.
We are feeling the effect of these staggering statistics, both personally and professionally. The frequency with which we are now asked about how to plan for a loved one with dementia has greatly multiplied. Our law firm, which specializes in future planning and long-term planning, is now regularly seeing and counseling clients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, as well as caregivers, who are trying to ensure that they or their loved ones will have access to the care they need, and the right financial safeguards in place, as their disease progresses. It’s extremely evident that, for now and the foreseeable future, there is a great need for centralized resources for Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers.
Our Massachusetts Estate Planning Law Firm’s Mission Related To Dementia and Alzheimer’s Planning
Although we do not have all the answers, our mission is to help coach our clients who are concerned about their own or a loved one’s dementia journey through the maze of the aging network (community or government agencies, healthcare providers, and other organizations who meet the needs of elderly populations). In keeping with our legal team’s focus, we aim to become the go-to law firm in Massachusetts related to legal and financial planning for Alzheimer’s disease. Our mission is to help the aforementioned struggling clients get answers to their questions and find the help they need in conjunction with our assisting them in creating a plan for their future.
While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s on the horizon, we hope to bring awareness, and also provide resources and tools, for our clients and their loved ones so that the path they follow will be a bit easier. As we discuss on the Collaboration page of our site, we welcome collaborating with other professionals and healthcare providers whose clients and patients need services to help their family plan for a family member with dementia. It gives us great joy to know we can connect an Alzheimer’s caregiver with resources to make the Alzheimer’s journey more manageable for all involved.
Whether you are in need of resources for Alzheimer’s patients, resources for dementia patients, resources for caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients, or resources for caregivers of dementia patients, we encourage you to take advantage of those on this page and on our website – May they provide some comfort and guide you. You are not alone — we are here to help.
