Making Alzheimer’s Disease Just A Memory


Good news about Alzheimer’s Disease comes out almost every day. This is because the Alzheimer’s Association and others are contributing to new and better research. You can help in the fight against Alzheimer’s too. Adamsky Law Offices has put together a team for Memory Walk 2007. The walk will take place on September 30, 8:30 AM, at Boarding House Park in Lowell.

Memory Walk is the major fund-raising event of the Alzheimer's Association. It’s a fun stroll through historic downtown Lowell. You can raise funds and not even walk if you like, just join in the party at Boarding House Park. Since 1993, Memory Walk in Massachusetts has raised more than $6 million to help over 140,000 individuals battling Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. More than $1.3 million alone was raised last year.

Our team is looking for more members to walk with us (and/or raise funds) and we are looking for donations. You can help us out in several ways. Mail your donation check to our office (269 Middlesex Road, Tyngsboro, MA 01879 – made payable to the Alzheimer’s Association.) Go to our Team Adamsky Law Offices page and make an online donation by credit card. Join our team – call or stop by our office for a sign-up form, or join our team online – and get pledges and donations from your family and friends. Please join us in making Alzheimer’s Disease just a memory.


September 30, 8:30 AM

Ending the Two Year Wait for Medicare for SSD Beneficiaries

A Bill, pending in Congress, would end the two-year waiting period for Medicare benefits for people who qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) - individuals who have suffered a medical condition that renders them unable to work ("Permanently and Totally Disabled"). Medicare coverage is currently available to individuals who are determined to be eligible for SSD benefits, but not until 29 months after the month in which SSD eligibility is determined. For those without private insurance, who can't afford COBRA, or whose costs exceed the catastrophic limits of their private coverage, the 29 month wait creates serious financial hardship and often leads to impoverishment for those who need to spend down for Medicaid coverage. Some couples must consider divorce to protect the non-disabled spouse. Please ask your Senators and Representative to co-sponsor the Ending the Medicare Disability Waiting Period Act of 2009 (S. 700/H.R. 1708), which will end this two-year waitin...

4 Planning Tips for Parents of Disabled Children

Buy enough life insurance . You can’t be replaced, but someone will have to fill in if you aren’t there. Your family will probably have to pay for some services that you used to provide. You can provide the money necessary, even if you don’t have much now, with life insurance. Set up a trust . Any assets left for a child with special needs, including life insurance proceeds, should be held in trust. Leaving money directly to someone with a special need jeopardizes public benefits. Some families disinherit children with special needs, relying on siblings to care for them. This approach is fraught with potential problems. The best approach is a trust fund set aside for the child with special needs. Write down the care plan . You must write down what a future caregiver will need to know about your special needs child. You may know everything but you need to write it down so it can be passed on. The memo or letter can be kept in the attorney's files or with the parent's estate plan...

Elder-Friendly Amendments in Latest Health Bill

At a session that ended at 2:18 a.m. on Friday, October 2, the Senate Finance Committee completed its markup to health reform, the America's Healthy Future Act. The bill contains some recently added amendments that are of great interest to elders. The bill now includes an amendment offered by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) that "would protect against spousal impoverishment in all Medicaid home and community based services programs by requiring states to apply the same spousal impoverishment rules currently provided to the spouses of nursing home residents in Medicaid. The provision would sunset after five years." The bill also incorporates the provisions of the Elder Justice Act (S. 795), which would establish "Offices of Elder Justice" in the Department of Health and Human Services and in the Justice Department and provide federal resources to support state and community efforts to fight elder abuse. Elder Law Attorneys contributed to the effort to see the Elder Jus...
