A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s—or even the early signs of memory loss—can bring a wave of uncertainty, fear, and heartache. It’s natural to worry about what lies ahead: how care will be provided, how to cover the costs, and how to protect what you’ve worked so hard for. You may feel overwhelmed with questions and unsure where to turn first.
You’re not alone. Help is available—starting with the right information, guidance, and support.
Planning for the Legal and Financial Impact
As Alzheimer’s progresses, the ability to manage personal, financial, and health care matters diminishes. That’s why early legal planning is not just wise—it’s necessary. It gives you the power to make your wishes known, appoint someone you trust to carry them out, and put protections in place to guard your family’s financial future.
If you wait too long, and legal capacity is lost, the planning options become limited and more complicated for your loved ones. That’s why it’s so important to act now. We can help you understand the steps to take—clearly, compassionately, and without delay.
Support for Caregivers
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is emotionally and physically exhausting. As the disease advances, daily tasks become more complex and the emotional toll increases. You may find yourself making difficult decisions about your loved one’s care, safety, and living situation—decisions that can have lasting legal and financial effects.
But you don’t have to navigate this alone. Connecting with others who understand what you’re facing can make a world of difference. The Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin Chapter Support Groups offer a safe place to share, learn, and receive support from others who are walking a similar path.
Managing the High Costs of Care
Nursing home care is expensive—often averaging more than $75,000 per year. For families affected by Alzheimer’s, these costs can quickly drain savings. The good news is that with proper legal planning, it may be possible to protect your assets and qualify for benefits that can help cover the cost of care.
Our office works closely with families to develop personalized plans that ease this financial burden. We can also help you research long-term care options in your area, so you or your loved one receives quality care when the time comes.
