We will help you answer your questions about your long-term care and health care choices:

  • What health care, chronic care, and long-term care services are available to me? How can I get the good care I need and desire, whether in my own home, in a residential community or assisted-living facility, in a child’s home, or in a nursing home?
  • How will financial and health care decisions be made for me if I cannot make them for myself? Who can I rely on to make sure that decisions to be made are the right ones?
  • If I can’t take care of myself, who will make sure my spouse continues to have a good quality of life?
  • If there is a health care crisis, what will we have to do? Where do we turn for the help we need?
  • How do I know I am getting good care? Who will advocate and intervene for me if necessary to ensure my right to quality health care and long-term care?
