Senior Care Center1 Explains Elder Care Law

Apr 7, 2021

April 07, 2021 - /PressAdvantage/ - Senior Care Center1, a free online resource that helps families find assisted living facilities for their loved ones, is reaching out to the wider community to explain Elder Care Law and how it can help those who are nearing the age of retirement. Those who want to learn more can find the full article on Senior Care Center1’s website.

Elder Care Law is an area of legal practice that covers the aging population’s financial and legal issues. Its purpose is to help elders get their priorities in order before they become cognitively impaired. The three primary focuses of elder care law include estate planning, elderly finances and legal issues. Knowing about Elder Care Law and having a trustworthy attorney who specializes in elder care law can help older individuals overcome the unique challenges that they face.

As Senior Care Center1 explains, estate planning and administration are very important matters that need to be taken care of. A blog post published on the Senior Care Center1 website states that establishing an estate is a very delicate process that requires a lot of paperwork and legal support. To ensure the right assets are granted to the proper beneficiaries, it is wise to hire an attorney, as they will provide the right guidance on how to set up the estate correctly. Furthermore, an experienced attorney can provide advice on tax consequences that come with different inheritance strategies. Those who want to know more about elder care law or find an elder care law attorney can do so with the help of FindLaw.

Since this matter can be tackled in a number of different ways, such as Power of Attorney, Guardianship, Living Trust, Living Will, Will and Probate, it might be difficult to figure out which method is best for each individual senior. Consulting an elder care law attorney will ensure that everything is taken care of properly, however.

In addition, there is the matter of elder finances. Since most medical expenses tend to be incurred at the end of one’s life, it is important to ensure sufficient coverage is in place to pay for these expenses. An elder care law attorney can help an individual take advantage of certain benefits unique to the aging population, such as gaining access to certain financial programs and tax deductions. As this matter is delicate, it is wise not to rely on a family member to be the primary caregiver — and an attorney can help plan for senior living. This will ensure the costs of around-the-clock care are covered so that loved ones do not have to take on this burden.

Of course, having an elder care law attorney will also mean that older individuals have help with legal matters. It is an unfortunate fact that many older people are more susceptible to fraud and other crimes. As a result, a large part of elder care law is dedicated to preventing crime against the elderly and enhancing penalties against those involved. The blog post says, “If you become cognitively impaired, you might not think straight. You will be more likely to give out personal information to a criminal, such as your credit card or social security number. Setting up a relationship with an attorney can help prevent elder abuse. They will help you take preventative steps and help you and your family press charges if you do happen to be taken advantage of.”

Casey Ryeback, a representative for Senior Care Center1, says, “The elderly population of the country face a lot of obstacles that we don’t often pay attention to before we’re at that age ourselves, and ensuring that they have the right legal assistance goes a long way in allowing them to live a happy life. At Senior Care Center1, we are dedicated to helping elder individuals across the country, whether it is with legal matters or anything else. If you need any help at all, feel free to reach out.”

GISBH: KPWKM prioritises swift reunification of rescued children with families

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: The immediate return of children rescued during Op Global to their parents and families is a top priority for the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). However, its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said KPWKM must first ensure that the children’s parents and families can provide adequate and proper care. “For cases where the capability of the parents and families is clearly established, the reunification process can proceed without delay. In more complex situations, intervention programmes will be implemented to ensure the children’s and families’ best interests are safeguarded “The ultimate goal is to reunite these children with their families. However, before this can happen, several factors need to be carefully evaluated. This is not about denying anyone’s rights, but about ensuring the best interests of the children are upheld,” Nancy said during a minister’s briefing session on GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) in the Dewan Rakyat today. As of yesterday, 560 children – 283 boys and 277 girls – had been placed in safe custody after the Social Welfare Department (JKM) obtained a temporary court custody order for two months under Section 25(2)(a) of the Child Act 2001. Meanwhile, Nancy said the Task Force Profiling Team for Op Global found that 94.3 per cent of the 558 profiled children had at least one living biological parent, while 5.7 per cent had no parents or no available information on their parents. Health assessments showed that 51.6 per cent of the children were underweight, falling below the healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), while 46.1 per cent had a normal weight and the remaining children were classified as obese, she added. “Three children have been issued persons with disabilities (PwD) cards, while 27 others display symptoms of disability,” she added. Cognitive assessments were also conducted on 385 children aged seven and above, with 71.9 per cent (277 children) showing no signs of cognitive disorders, she said. “However, 20.26 per cent (78 children) displayed moderate cognitive disorders, while 7.79 per cent (30 children) were found to have severe cognitive impairments,” Nancy said.

Malaysia should seize opportunity in global medical devices market - Chang

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian innovators and manufacturers should seize the opportunity to tap into the immense potential of the global medical devices industry, which is projected to reach nearly US$800 billion by 2030, says Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Chang Lih Kang. Chang noted that Malaysia had many high-quality products and innovators in the medical devices sector, with the government continuously encouraging and supporting industry players in research and development (R&D) and commercialisation efforts. “The market is vast, and we have plenty of room for success. To support R&D, of course, not limited to the medical devices industry, MOSTI offers various funding facilities, grants, matching grants, and equity where we invest in relevant startups,” he said. Chang said this to reporters after officiating the soft launch of INNOMed: Innovation Pitching Powered by PERANTIM, a key event in the International Medical Device Exhibition & Conference (IMDEC) 2024. Also present were Medical Device Authority (MDA) chief executive officer Dr P. Muralitharan, Malaysia Medical Devices Manufacturers Association (PERANTIM) president Johari Abu Kasim, and organising chairman of INNOMed, Dr Hyzan Mohd Yusof. Earlier in his speech, Chang said that under Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the government aimed to foster synergies between the manufacturing and engineering sectors and the medical devices sector. This includes creating advanced inspection tools, solutions for imaging and endoscopy, implantable devices, and minimally invasive surgical tools. Meanwhile, Muralitharan told Bernama that, according to figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Malaysia’s total trade in medical devices, valued at RM25.61 billion from January to July this year, increased by 23.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2023 (RM20.74 billion). He added that the export of medical devices was valued at RM20.15 billion, an increase of 25.7 per cent compared to RM16.02 billion in 2023. In his speech, Dr Hyzan said that medical device innovation presented an opportunity to improve healthcare while boosting the economy, with the industry projected to reach nearly US$2 billion by 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors. “By focusing on innovation, we can create high-skilled jobs, reduce our dependence on imported technologies, and position Malaysia as a global leader. Last year, we spent US$5 billion on medical devices, with 95 per cent being imports. Our goal is to reduce this to 50 per cent within five years,” he said. He also emphasised that close collaboration among universities, innovators, manufacturers, clinicians, and government agencies was key to ensuring that ideas and research transitioned smoothly from laboratories to clinical applications and into the hands of healthcare providers. INNOMed, themed “Unleashing the Power of Medical Technology: Shaping the Future of Healthcare,“ is organised by the MDA and will take place from Dec 10 to 12 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
