September is World Alzheimer’s Month, a time to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, as well as the impact these conditions can have on individuals and their families. For Maine families, that impact is not only medical and emotional. Alzheimer’s disease can also have a significant financial impact, particularly as a […]
When many Maine families hear the words “long-term care planning,” they immediately think of one thing: a nursing home. But long-term care can look very different from one person to the next.

Unfortunately, those assumptions can create confusion later. A Will is one of […]
