The Michigan Elder Law Blog

We want to share a series of videos (5 total) that demonstrate how Elder Law attorneys can help those with MS.  The second video focuses on Coordinating Attendant Care and Available Resources.  People with MS, along with their family members, frequently engage caregivers from outside the home to assist in their care and provide respite for the family.  Doing so must be done carefully to ensure all legal and tax requirements are met and eligibility for public benefits is maintained.  This video focuses on the ins and outs of the various options for obtaining needed attendant care.

These videos were produced through the collaborative efforts of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Stetson University College of Law.  The videos will be posted on successive days.  Or you can go directly here to watch them all at once.

The elder law team at CMDA is experienced in helping vulnerable clients of every age.  We are available to assist younger individuals dealing with a disability or debilitating illness such as MS.  We help our clients maintain quality of life and preserving independence for as long as possible. We hope you find value from these videos.  We also welcome your feedback.  Contact Gene at CMDA’s Livonia office by calling (734) 261-2400 or by email at nrichards@cmda-law.com.
