Since the mid-1990s, Yale Hauptman has been helping seniors and their families tackle a growing problem in this country, the need for long-term care and how to pay for it. The articles and stories contained in this book illustrate a real life picture of what long-term care looks like. Although "Be Nice to Me…" is meant to both educate and correct misconceptions, Yale's desire and goal is to motivate you to take action. The first step is to find a professional in your area who is knowledgeable about long-term care and elder law, and the next step is to put a plan in place immediately. Then, when a crisis does hit, you'll be emotionally, psychologically, and financially prepared to cope with one of the most difficult times you'll ever live through.
As a client once said to Yale, "I am so pleased that my son found your firm to help us plan and implement the final chapter of the book of my life." Every one of you has the opportunity to do the same for your parent or loved one.
