In life, many of us may face the challenge of a loved one being diagnosed with a life-changing disease. Unfortunately, it happens all the time. How do you handle it?

My dad had Alzheimer's disease. It was a slow progression in the beginning, but when he needed to go into assisted living and eventually into a group home, I wasn't sure how we would pay for it. It was so expensive, and I thought he would run through his money fast before I had to dip it into my pocket.

What Happens When Your Spouse or Parent Has a Life-Changing Disease?

On today's show of Hilary Topper on Air, Diana Lattanzio, partner at The Russo Law Group, talks with us about how to deal with situations like the one above. Diana experienced this both with her grandfather and with her father, who currently has Parkinson's disease.

Diana discusses what the process is to apply for Medicaid to meet his ongoing needs. She also talks about how families can proactively plan for the legal aspects of long-term care, considering the potential impact of a life-changing diagnosis.

Diana Lattanzio also answers the following questions:
  • What key advice do you have for individuals who find themselves suddenly responsible for making important legal decisions on behalf of a loved one with a serious medical condition?
  • In your experience, what are common misconceptions about Elder Law, and how can individuals better understand the support it provides?
  • Could you share a success story or case that highlights the positive impact of proper legal planning in the face of life-changing health challenges?
