 hen a person
is aging and no longer able
to take care of his or her
day-to-day
needs, the right decision for
long-term care
must be made. Often,
senior citizens do not want to
accept
the fact that they can no longer care
for
themselves. They may feel that
they are a burden to
their relatives
and that they are failing themselves.
Attorneys at Steinbacher, Sholder
& Stahl are
experienced in helping
seniors and their families plan
effectively during these difficult times.
Attorney Julieanne E. Steinbacher has an
undergraduate degree in
gerontology, and
has worked in the area of elder law
since she
started practicing. Her skills, background and
real world experience are essential
when helping families make these
difficult decisions.Nursing home
care is not the answer
for all seniors. At the law firm
of Steinbacher, Sholder & Stahl, we look closely
at your
particular situation, examine all the
available options,
and consider the best
strategy of action for everyone involved. In some
situations, the best
|
|
action is in-home care, in which the senior can retain
the lifestyle he or she has become accustomed to. In
such circumstances, we will arrange for the best type of
in-home carepossible.
However, if the senior’s current situation
necessitates
a move to an assisted living
facility, we will help
families make those
arrangements. Similarly, if the
senior’s
physical, emotional, or psychological needs
require a move to a nursing home, we will
help you find
the home that best provides
for the needs of your aging
loved one.
When
considering long-term care options, many
people are
concerned with the financial costs associated with care.
At Steinbacher, Sholder & Stahl, our priority is to help
seniors and their families find the coverage of funds
necessary to pay for the cost of care, while protecting
their home and retaining their assets for the future
benefit of the spouse or children.
In addition,
we have experience handling medical benefit package
disputes, questions about
veterans benefits,
Social Security benefit concerns, and the application or
appeals for medical assistance.

Sholder & Stahl has been an integral part of the
Williamsport, Pennsylvania community for many years. We
serve our clients with dignity and respect. If you have
an elder care legal issue we want to help you.
