Hiring an elder law attorney/ A-1 Home Care Orange County

Many clients of A-1 Home Care are faced with a situation in which their elderly parents are no longer capable of making their own health care or legal decisions. In this case, it's prudent to hire an elder law attorney to determine the next course of action. But how does one proceed with this?

There are varying degrees of qualifications with elder law attorneys. To be sure, it's best to ask questions such as:

• How long has he or she been practicing?
• Is elder law the person's specialty?
• How much of the person's practice involves elder law?
• Is there an initial consultation fee?

Most lawyers will have no problem answering these kinds of questions. If someone tries to brush these off, it may be a sign of a poor fit. If you are uncomfortable with the answers you get, keep looking. You want to start off with someone who you feel has the experience and knowledge to keep your loved one's best interests in mind.

Arts and Crafts Holiday Fun at Two Palms Nursing Center

On a bright and slightly chilly Monday, several members of the A-1 Home Care/ A-1 Domestic Professional Services corporate family took a trip to the Twin Palms Nursing Center to have a ball doing holiday crafts and making a general glittery mess with the senior residents there. It was amazing fun!

We met a lot of brand new friends:

There were lots of talented artists in our midst. Glitter glue isn't the most forgiving of mediums, but everyone managed beautifully.

Thanks to everyone who helped us have an amazing holiday fun time at two Palms! We loved spending time with you, and hope to see you again soon!
