A holistic approach to the practice of Elder Law

Hurley Elder Care Law stands out as a distinguished member of the Life Care Planning Law Firms Association (LCPLFA), a nationwide association of elder law firms dedicated to providing comprehensive legal, care coordination, and advocacy services to elders and their families facing the complexities of aging, chronic illnesses, and disabilities. Hurley Elder Care Law is the only metro-Atlanta-based law firm with a holistic approach to the practice of elder law.

A holistic approach

Since its inception in 2006 by Miles Hurley, JD, CELA, Hurley Elder Care Law has been committed to a holistic approach to the practice of elder law, recognizing the multifaceted needs – legal, financial, and emotional – that families encounter as they navigate elder care issues. This makes Hurley Elder Care Law unique, as it is the sole elder law practice adopting this inclusive approach for its clients in the region. Mr. Hurley says,” There is much more to elder law than just preparing planning documents and qualifying for public benefits.  We are concerned with the complete needs of the client, including advocacy, determining appropriate care levels, and family dynamics.”

The role of the care coordinator at Hurley Elder Care Law

Central to Hurley Elder Care Law’s approach is its specialized care coordination service. The qualified care coordination team made up of 3 social workers and a nurse collaborates closely with elder care attorneys and public benefits experts to address client needs comprehensively. Serving as the primary liaison for care-related inquiries, the care coordinator offers vital education and support to both clients and their families on a wide array of subjects, including aging, in-home care, care costs, placement alternatives, and local community services.

The role of the care coordinator extends to facilitating a deeper understanding among clients and their families about the long-term care and healthcare landscapes, particularly in the context of long-term care arrangements. The team is dedicated to empowering families, helping them to champion the rights of their loved ones to receive high-quality healthcare and long-term care services.

Valuing the social and emotional needs of our clients and their families

The impact of our care coordinators extends beyond professional support; they often become close to family members due to the deep connections formed through navigating crises together.

Over 18 years since its foundation, Hurley Elder Care Law remains steadfast in its holistic practice model, a testament to its enduring commitment to providing valuable guidance and fostering lasting relationships with its clients.
