In every stage of life, we face certain opportunities and special challenges. As we grow older, we need to pay more attention to the medical, financial, and legal issues that affect our lives. Pryor Cashman’s Elder Care attorneys provide legal counsel, trusted advice, and sophisticated planning to assist our clients with long-term health care decisions, disability protections, retirement issues, advanced medical directives, and Medicaid and Medicare coverage.  

Our attorneys are sensitive to the health and financial concerns of our clients, especially as they pertain to retirement, health care, disability and living arrangement decisions. We integrate the concerns of each of our clients, their spouse, their family, and their health care professionals in determining what is best for the client.

We are well-versed in many techniques used to minimize estate taxes while at the same time complying with Medicaid eligibility rules. Our attorneys are also knowledgeable about Assisted Living and other non-institutional living arrangements and are experienced with end-of-life decisions, offering comfort, support and understanding during times of crisis.

As carefully as you may have worked to prepare the proper estate plan, it is sometimes not enough when faced with the challenges of mental disability and the need for skilled home care or nursing home care. Regardless of your circumstances, you will have more options the earlier you start planning.

Areas in which attorneys in our Elder Care practice concentrate include:

• Long-Term Care Planning, including Long-Term Care Insurance
• Disability Planning
• Medicaid & Medicare
• Assisted Living and other non-institutional living arrangements
