: Estate Planning and Elder LawLiving With Alzheimer's Disease
By Leanna Hamill, Esq.
The New York Times recently had an article about living with Alzheimer's Disease after diagnosis but while the person is still able to carry on conversations, and go about their daily life, although with small but growing differences.
One important step to take during this time, is to make sure that you have you Health Care Proxy, Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney and Will or Trust set up. You should also have conversations with your loved ones about your wishes.
You and your family may also wish to attend a support group for people with early stage Alzheimer's and their care givers. Some of the support groups are listed here: http://www.alzmass.org/supportgroupleaders.htm and others can be found here:
