If the diagnosis is Alzheimer’s, call your County Bar Association – Referral Board and ask for an ‘Elder Law Attorney” reference. 

The average survival rate is eight years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s – some live as few as three years after diagnosis, while others live as long as 20. Most people with Alzheimer’s don’t die from the disease itself, but from pneumonia, a urinary tract infection or complications from a fall.

Until there’s a cure, people with the disease will need caregiving and legal advice. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, approximately one in ten families has a relative with this disease. Of the four million people living in the U.S. with Alzheimer’s disease, the majority live at home – often receiving care from family members.

If the diagnosis is Alzheimer’s, call elder law attorney for help.
