As a professional you will have to deal clients who are not quite incapacitated. There are several forms of incapacity and they are not necessarily age driven although senior adults are more likely to be headed in that direction. In this presentation forms of incapacity will be defined; the characteristics and possible implications for the professional of each will be provided. With clients who are not quite incapacitated there are risks – risks of acting and risks of not acting. This topic will be presented in a Question/Answer Interactive Format between the panel members consisting of Care Managers from Accountable Aging and Elder Law Attorneys from Leu & Peirce. The premise of the presentation is provide insight to professionals on how to interact with clients at the beginning stages of cognitive impairment. We will review and discuss worst case scenarios and what happens when your plan falls apart or when you fail to plan. The goal is to provide professionals information to issue spot various cognitive issues and provide talking points regarding dementia, long-term care and planning, so that they can better serve their aging clients and loved ones.
