When caring for an elder you want to make sure that not only do they have the care they need, but that they will be able to pay for that care in the long term. Whether that care is in their own home, in an assisted living facility or in a skilled nursing facility those costs can mount up quickly. There are many resources and agencies that provide funding for that care, but you need to get informed in order to become eligible.
In this show Rebecca L. Berg an elder law attorney with Berg & Associates explains how to preserve assets the elder may already have. This information is critical in order for money to be available for that care in the long term.

Many people think of abuse as physical abuse. But abuse takes on many different forms like psychological and neglect. One area of neglect is not just the act but also the omission of care. One of largest areas of neglect is self neglect. When a senior fails to accept care or is unable to care for themselves they can become a victim of self neglect.
The last area of neglect is exploitation. This is when someone’s financial assets are threatened. Identity theft or home repair fraud or the misuse of a senior’s financial assets by a family member can also be defined as exploitation.
In this show Debra Vasquez with ElderSource defines what abuse for seniors is; who the abusers are; and solutions to preventing elder abuse.
