At Mayhone Elder Law, we help our clients answer three key questions:
- What happens if I die?
- What happens if I don’t die, but become incapacitated, incompetent, or disabled?
- What happens if the diagnosis is dementia?
Dementia creates an additional layer of long-term care planning needs and in many instances, time is of the essence.
Dementia is a collective term used to describe various symptoms of cognitive decline, such as forgetfulness. It is a symptom of several underlying diseases and brain disorders. Dementia is not a single disease in itself, but a general term to describe symptoms of impairment in memory, communication and thinking. Whether you or a loved one have a dementia diagnosis, or you’re planning for the future, we are here to help!
It is a huge misconception that all dementias are the same. This couldn’t be further from the truth!
A proper diagnosis is the most important thing you can do if you or a loved one is displaying symptoms of a cognitive impairment.
The dementia that most of us hear the most is Alzheimer’s Disease. But without getting a proper diagnosis, you or your loved one may miss out on the most appropriate treatment.
At Mayhone Elder Law, we can help you and/or your family:
- Prepare for long-term care and expenses
- Estimate the cost of care and provide asset protection from costs of care, including nursing home care
- Prepare legal documents to ensure your goals and objectives are carried out by the people you trust and select
- Explore available resources in your community
- Provide dementia disease education on:
- Stages of the disease
- Communication needs
- Behavior interventions
- Avoiding caregiver stress
- Provide care planning and case management to help caregivers manage the disease.

We have also created the Adult Incapacity Plan. It’s an affordable, convenient way to get the three key legal documents every adult needs, but is especially important for anyone dealing with a dementia or Alzheimer’s diagnosis. For just $450, you will receive a customized Healthcare Power of Attorney, HIPAA Release, Living Will, and Durable Power of Attorney.
The Adult Incapacity Plan allows YOU to choose:
- A person you trust to make medical decisions for you if the dementia or Alzheimer’s get to the point of you being unable to make them
- Who can get information about your medical condition in an emergency
- A person you trust to handle your financial accounts for you if you cannot
Without an Adult Incapacity Plan, you will have no control over the medical care you receive, who makes medical decisions for you, and who can learn about your medical condition. Also, without this Plan, the court will very likely need to get involved, which can be very time-consuming stressful, and expensive.
So, take the first step toward seizing control by clicking the link below. When you do, you will be directed to our client portal. You will create a unique user name and password. Once you answer a few questions, you can pay and submit the form. A team member will then contact you to go over the next steps to putting the Adult Incapacity Plan into place.
