Navigating the Elder Care Universe
The most powerful legal document currently in force in the United States is its Constitution. The Durable Power of Attorney your client executed last Tuesday comes in a close second. Here is a recent article I wrote for the summer edition of the NYSBA: Defensive Estate Planning with Powers of Attorney: How to Avoid Mayhem, Chaos and Unintended Consequences
Edith Reinhardt of RDT Content Marketing LLC provides guidance for accountants to enhance their marketing efforts. Her recent blog entitled “10 Ways To Get More Value Out of Joining A Professional Association” suggests how professionals can catapult the value of their membership in professional organizations. While the blog was originally written for accountants, the suggestions are meaningful to professionals in all areas of expertise.

Chair – Eliminate Elder Abuse Committee
New York City is on the move with the appointment of 18 new (additional) Age-friendly NYC Commission members. This was recently announced by the de Blasio Administration in partnership with the New York City Council and the New York Academy of Medicine. The Commission, as a whole, is comprised of noted leaders from government, nonprofit, business, education and health care. Please see link: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dfta/about/pr-De-Blasio-announces-reseating-of-the-age-friendly-NYC-commission.page
NYC continues to identify and implement a number of initiatives to address the challenges older New Yorkers face. NYC also continues to be recognized as leader of the age-friendly movement nationally.
Thanks to Orion Strategic Advisory Board member, Sharon Lewis, for bringing this development to light.

I recommend Jane Brody’s column titled Falls Can Kill You. Here’s How to Minimize the Risk in The NY Times on Tuesday 2/26, not just because it resonated with me personally, but because it cites risk factors and consequences that might well be overlooked by even the most experienced among us on the front lines of caregiving and management. It could also be used as a resource for people receiving familial concern and/or professional care who don’t want to hear these things from their loved ones or caregivers. Here’s the link: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/25/well/live/falls-can-kill-you-heres-how-to-minimize-the-risk.html
