A model legal-financial education workshop for families caring for neurologically impaired elders

C Pratt, T Nay, L Ladd and B Heagerty

A program is described through which families become acquainted with the issues, legal terminology, and resources for planning to provide and finance care to neurologically impaired elders. A survey of 68 participating families indicated over 90% had taken one or more planning actions following the workshop, including developing a specific plan for providing and financing services and developing a power-of-attorney for decision-making. Implications for other programs are discussed.
