For the Corporate and Municipal Human Resources Professional
(City Managers, Employee Assistance Programs)
Today, more employees are involved in the care of their aging parents and elders. Unfortunately, many people are not prepared to handle the many issues that may arise in the aging process. Nor are people aware of community resources that can assist them. This may result in the employee missing work or, declined productivity. Employers can support their employees and potentially reduce absenteeism through education.
Our office supports the Human Resources professional and their employees by serving as a resource of specialized knowledge about elder law issues. Corporate and Municipal HR professionals look to us for their staff's educational needs regarding:
- Advance directives and end of life planning issues.
- The importance of wills and trusts and the advantages of planning your estate .
- Available long term care planning options for incapacitated adults and minors.
- Legal proceedings (i.e.: Emergency Guardianships ) available to assist incapacitated or disabled people with their medical and financial decision-making.
- The importance of legal documents such as Durable Power of Attorney, Designation of Healthcare Surrogate, Living Will, etc.
- The use of special needs trusts for individuals receiving government assistance (Social Security, Food Stamps, etc).
- The myths and truths about Medicaid eligibility and asset protection.
- The role of financial planning and the purchase of long term care insurance.
- How to designate a pre-need guardian for minor children or incapacitated adults.
- Planning for employees in a domestic partner relationship (heterosexual or same sex partners).
Onsite presentations can be scheduled to accommodate your staff's busy schedule such as a breakfast program or lunch-n-learn.
We would be pleased to provide you with references from organizations that have hosted our educational programs.
