In 1991, when this law firm opened, meeting a person over 90 years old was a rare experience. In 2021, meeting people who are 100 or older is becoming more common throughout our society.
The elderly were students, working people, parents, and confidants; they had family, social, and professional lives. The Elderly contributed richly to our society. Now, they are our grandparents, parents, and in many cases, ourselves. Elders still contribute in many ways, they care for others, and contribute to our lives. However, as people age, they may find themselves in need of the protection they once offered.
Family hospitals, churches, caregivers and charitable organizations are among the institutions that have an obligation to protect the elderly. This loose social safety net can prevent or alleviate some of the pain and restrictions that may accompany aging. However, no part of the social safety net self-starts. Therefore, falling through the net, enduring conditions and harm is the fate of many elderly. It all usually takes money, an advocate and perseverance to obtain any help. It is often an endurance test for the elderly to get what they are entitled to receive.
