Do You Have a Loved One with Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, or Memory Loss?

 

Kansas City Elder Law Attorney's FREE Report
Reveals the 9 Steps to Peace of Mind for
You and Your Loved Ones

Dear Friend,

I know you're worried.

You have a loved one who's showing signs of memory loss and you're concerned that it might be Alzheimer's Disease...or perhaps your loved one has already been diagnosed.

In either case, you're concerned about getting them good care and wondering where you'll find the strength to carry on throughout the course of a disease that can sometimes last for 10 or even 20 years.

And when you think about the cost...you begin to worry if you might lose everything to Alzheimer's.

"What Steps Should I Be Taking Right Now?"

Of course, it’s important that you talk to your doctor as soon as your loved one starts to show signs of memory loss.

And even though you may be fearing the worst...that it’s Alzheimer’s disease...there are any number of less serious reasons why someone might be experiencing memory loss. Not all of them are related to Alzheimer’s...but some of them have very similar symptoms.

But even if the medical side of things is being handled, there are several crucial steps on the legal and financial side of things which you should consider immediately. That’s because the cost of care for someone with Alzheimer’s is incredibly expensive. Studies show that the cost of care in Kansas and Missouri averages more than $174,000 for an Alzheimer’s patient over his or her lifetime.

And while that may sound outrageous...when you consider that the cost of adult daycare is often $50 per day or more...or that the cost for an Alzheimer’s assisted living facility in Kansas City and surrounding areas averages nearly $3,000 per month...or that the cost of an Kansas City Alzheimer’s nursing home is typically more than $5,000 per month and you quickly realize that the $174,000 lifetime figure may be low!

That’s why you should take steps now...while you can still plan. After all, who can afford $3,000 per month for Alzheimer’s assisted living or $5,000 per month for nursing home care without some assistance?


Fortunately, there are often programs available to help you if you act now and plan ahead.

The first step is to consult with an attorney who works with Alzheimer’s clients.

It’s critical that you and your loved ones have a chance to put the proper planning in place while there is still time. The simple fact is that none of us knows how much time we have on this earth. When Alzheimer’s or memory loss is part of the equation, however, life becomes more complicated.

That’s because you may “know” exactly what your spouse or loved one would want. But if those wishes have not somehow been put down in writing, then the law may not recognize your supposed “knowledge.” In legal-speak, it’s considered heresay and has no legal merit.

Instead, the law in Kansas and Missouri says the Alzheimer’s patient must have the legal capacity (i.e. the ability to understand) the planning steps. For that reason, that's why we suggest you act right now...while the Alzheimer’s patient can participate in the planning. The longer you wait, the greater the risk becomes.
