For citizens of Nevada that have reached sixty years of age and more, the need to get elder care assumes much greater importance. At the same time, the issue of learning more about Nevada elder rights also needs to be addressed. In fact, at this age, you may need to get in touch with one of our Nevada elder rights advocates because of the need to learn more about elders’ issues such as Medicare and Medicaid, as well as get elder counseling and learn more about benefit coverage as well.

Issues that our Nevada elder rights advocates can help you with include Medicare, Medicaid, and disability insurance, as well as long term health care and even guardianship. In some instances, advocates will also look into and cover certain areas that deal with criminal law, including elder abuse. Elder abuse can include fraud, financial abuse and even nursing home neglect.

Whenever an elder in your family needs to get legal representation or advice, it is then the right time to call Jack Bernstein & Associates, Nevada elder rights advocates. We will handle all of the legal aspects of all applicable laws pertaining to elders in the state of Nevada. With the tremendous growth expected of the population of all elders in America in the next twenty-five years, the need to have such an advocate on hand becomes even more important. There are bound to be many occasions when the services of our legal advocates will be required to address the many different needs of the elderly. The fact of the matter is that when a person advances in age, the need to get some external assistance to help them with their normal activities as well as medical treatment can often force family members into entrusting the care of elders to nursing homes where specialized care is available around the clock. Hand in hand with this reality comes the financial reality of most nursing homes—they're set up to make a profit. This can lead to problems like cost-cutting and understaffing, at the expense of resident care. Our aggressive and experienced elder rights advocates can help you avoid situations like this. Even the most thoroughly-researched care facility can have problems, and in those situations an elder rights advocate can be invaluable.

Providing elders with home care is another option; however, sometimes even this option fails and instances of elder abuse and neglect get reported. In-home caregivers may also neglect the needs of the elderly person. As with nursing home care, the signs of neglect can be similar—lack of care to the patient, signs of malnutrition, or keeping the patient isolated.

In addition to combating cases of elder abuse and neglect, our trusted Nevada elder rights advocates can help with matters such as estate planning, health care planning, and other financial areas of concern to elders. Our law firm specializes in elder advocacy and we will put our years of experience and detailed knowledge of elder law into effect on your behalf.
