PATIENT & ELDER CARE
ADVOCACY & MEDIATION
 

Conflict between and among parents, adult children, siblings, and health care providers is created following major illness or injury. As people transition from independence to dependence issues arise regarding quality of health care, financial management, home or assisted living arrangements, safety, driving, health care decision-making, estate planning, and more. 

Issues also arise between families and hospitals, doctors, assisted living facilities or skilled nursing facilities over fees, appropriateness and quality of care, negligence, neglect or abuse.  Private Healthcare Advocacy offers an effective and expedient mechanism for resolving these conflicts and  establishing sound care plans for the future.

In youth we run into difficulties. In old age, difficulties run into us.  Beverly Sills, Famous Opera Singer,  b. 1929



It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.  Arnold Palmer, American Professional Golfer,  b. 1929




As life expectancy continues to increase, older adults have growing needs for proper health care, assistance with activities of daily living, socialization, and planned recreation.  Families are often unable to cope with the required care giving responsibilities.  Health and safety issues become prominent.  Decisions regarding personal care, health care, and living arrangements, e.g., assisted living facilities or retirement communities, need to be made.  Subjects of power of attorney and conservatorship over estate and person are often taboo. These critical issues may not be addressed until there is a medical crisis that forces decision-making during a time of severe stress.
