Henry had reached the point where he knew his house was too large for him. He had investigated his options and chose to move forward with a local assisted living facility (official name or classification of Waverly Meadows). Henry needed a Realtor who would care about this big life transition. He needed someone to help him understand and see the change in attainable steps, rather than a complex, overwhelming transaction.

Henry’s neighbor knew Kevin Alderink, the realtor who had helped him purchase his home. The neighbor told Henry that with Kevin’s assistance, his needs and concerns would not be overlooked—Kevin would take this move very seriously.

Among other tasks, Kevin helped Henry arrange a meeting with an attorney to review his estate planning. Henry hadn’t reviewed these documents for years. An attorney specializing in elder care was essential. It became apparent that the previous legal work was completed by a family friend who practiced all aspects of law—he was not devoted to the complexity of elder care planning.

By meeting with an elder care expert like Jessica Arends, Henry received a focused level of care and attention. He was able to update his estate planning and can now rest assured that this area of his life is in good hands. Visit the profile of Elder Care Attorney Jessica Arends Henry's Story
