Create a long term care plan. They can recommend a long term care plan based on your loved ones' financial and medical needs. They'll discuss living options including home care, independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.
Ensure a durable power of attorney is in place. They prepare documents to place a durable power of attorney in case your loved one becomes incapacitated.

Protect assets from financial exploitation. They can identify and report potential criminal activity or fraud and notify family members.
