For family caregivers · Tampa Bay, Florida
You take care of them. We help take care of the rest.
Caring for an aging parent or spouse brings hard legal and financial questions. We help Florida families get the right authority in place, pay for long-term care, and protect the spouse who stays at home.
How we help caregivers
Whether you are the adult child, the spouse or the person everyone calls first, these are the areas we work through with you.
Paying for long-term care
Medicaid long-term care planning for nursing home and home and community-based care, including eligibility, applications and spend-down options.
Protecting the well spouse
Planning that uses the protections available to a spouse living at home, so one spouse's care does not leave the other without income or savings.
Hospital and rehab discharge
Guidance when a hospital or rehab stay ends and the family must decide quickly about care at home, assisted living or a nursing facility.
Guardianship and alternatives
When a loved one can no longer make decisions and no documents are in place, we explain guardianship and the less restrictive options that may work instead.
Veterans benefits
Planning for VA pension benefits, including Aid and Attendance, for veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily care.
Wherever you are in the caregiving journey
Many families call us in a crisis. Planning earlier gives you more options, but it is rarely too late to help.
- Starting to worry
Put powers of attorney and health care documents in place while your loved one can still sign them, and review how the family will pay for care.
- A sudden crisis
A fall, a stroke or a hospital stay. We help you understand discharge options and act quickly on care and benefits.
- Long-term care
Apply for Medicaid or VA benefits, protect the at-home spouse and coordinate with the care facility.
- After a loss
Probate and estate administration, and updating the surviving spouse's own plan.
