Though no two days are exactly alike for attorneys leading Life Care Planning Law Firms, they tend to settle into a general rhythm. That’s how it is for Mary Kay Furiasse, an attorney and founder of A/Z Health & Elder Law, a Life Care Planning Law Firm in Warrenville, Illinois.

When it comes to qualifying for Medicaid, few things are simple or straightforward. Every state has its own way of managing this important public benefit program. The way Medicaid evaluates retirement accounts during the qualification process is no exception.

Many professionals who work in Life Care Planning Law Firms have been blessed with close relationships with elderly loved ones. Nancy Carman is no exception.

She grew up in a family where five generations were alive and well. “I have a picture of my great-great grandmother holding me when I was a baby,” remembers Nancy, who works as an Elder Care Coordinator for Fendrick Morgan, a Life Care Planning Law Firm in Voorhees Township, New Jersey. “My dad is now 91. Those experiences played a big role in my decision to make working with older adults a career.”

Pati Bedwell, an elder care coordinator at Takacs McGinnis Elder Care Law, a Life Care Planning Law Firm in suburban Nashville, Tennessee, found out about POCD when it happened to her mother. It was a routine colonoscopy, but Pati’s mother was given a new medication with her anesthesia. “Mom jokingly told the nurse she wanted something so she’d forget she was there,” remembers Pati. “The nurse told Mom that the medication would help wipe her short-term memory, so she probably wouldn’t remember much of anything of the procedure. That sounded good to Mom.”
