Senior Direction

A Practical and Legal Guide for Nevada Caregivers

For the first time, Nevada patients and their caregivers have a comprehensive guide that addresses these problems from the specific perspective of Nevada resources and Nevada law. Here Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are described in clear laymen’s terms, with advice on finding the right physician and on dealing with a diagnosis. Here too is information about the legal and financial steps that patients and their families can take to protect themselves and their assets, pay for the costs of long-term care, provide advance directives for health care, and arrange for helping someone afflicted with one of the geriatric dementias, dealing with such matters as eating, personal hygiene, medication management, emotional changes, and communication. There is also information about locating support groups, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and other resources in each section of the state, as well as examples of pertinent legal forms consistent with Nevada law.
