Strategies for Lack of COLA in 2016

By Hurley Elder Care Law | October 21, 2015 |

Without a COLA this year, some people may need to adjust their spending. Although inflation was 0% for the past year, it was mainly due to the decline in energy prices. Other costs were up however, including food, shelter and medical care, so cutting back on spending in these areas might be one way to…

No Benefit Increase But Premiums May Rise

By Hurley Elder Care Law | October 16, 2015 |

There will be no cost-of-living-adjustment for 2016 for the millions of Social Security recipients, disabled veterans and federal retirees for the third time since 2010. The government said that inflation is being pulled down by lower gasoline prices resulting in the flat COLA. The COLA is based on a government measure of inflation and more…

Client Testimonials

Hurley Elder Care Law went to work for my Mother and navigated all of the Government red tape and got her approved for Medicaid in short order. I, as her POA, could not even begin to climb the mountain of paperwork on my own.

David Q.

It's impossible to accurately describe the lost feeling of realizing you need power of attorney, updated will and general guidance all of a sudden when dealing with a parent with dementia. The firm’s responsiveness has been superb, their work flawless and their advice kind, compassionate and professional. I'll forever know that their guidance prevented us from making many bad decisions.

Neal R.

Superb service through a difficult maze of governmental regulations and requirements which are not navigable by an individual without a depth of knowledge that far exceeds mine.

Wallace M.

Due to aging, escalating health and cost concerns for both my husband and myself, I chose to work with Hurley Elder Care to do care and estate planning. I am so very pleased with the result. I have a much improved understanding of the complexity of this process, the necessary documents, timing, regulations and the need for professional guidance.

Gina M.

Very comfortable atmosphere. They treat you like you are one of the family.

Val B.

All I can say is Wow ! I have never seen a team attack and solve a problem like Hurley. We lost our father and two weeks later our mother suffered a severe stroke. Nursing home costs were draining their life savings, but Hurley found a solution and got things under control.

Gary G.

A great institution that provides a much neglected but critical role in healthcare and beyond. Nola Hurley is an incredible face to the group and their team of attorneys are some of the most knowledgeable professionals who have thought through some life affairs that catches many off guard. I plan to use their services for family and professional referrals.

Hurley Elder Care Law as a whole and the many people who assisted me were so kind, considerate and helpful every step of the process I was going through.

Lisa McIntyre 5/17/2024
I needed to redraft my will, health care directive and power of attorney after my divorce and estrangement from a child. Needless to say, it was an emotionally delicate process but Jennifer was incredibly sympathetic and really knows her stuff! She’s uber-professional but personable and the entire revision process took a matter of several weeks and was fairly priced. I love that the firm sends newsletters with articles that are of interest to those in the later stages of life and their loved ones who might be caring for them. Nobody enjoys thinking about their eventual demise but it must be done if you want to make it easier for those left behind. Highly recommend!
