Resolutions for a Great New Year

Balance work with leisure time; you will find more satisfaction on the job.
Embrace green therapy. Go outside, stand in the sun, let the wind mess up your hair and breathe deeply. You will feel restored and have an improved mental performance.
Take a time out. Don’t rush in the morning while showering, for a more peaceful start to the day. Set your bedroom clock 12 minutes fast. Relieve the stress that builds when you think you don’t have time to do something.
Downsize emotional reactions. Look at the big picture but don’t let it overwhelm you. In the first emotional rush of an upsetting moment, remember to adjust your perspective and lessen the emotional intensity.
Rethink the closet. Some people collect clutter to make up for a sense of loss in other areas of their lives. Remember that clutter does not minimize losses; fill a couple of bags with donations and feel better about yourself.
Find more teachers. Learn from those who know more than you do. Expand your knowledge by seeking out things you have always wanted to know.
Take the short view. Keep control and don’t imagine the worst that can happen. Stay in the present. You can always devise a strategy to improve a situation that confronts you if you keep a clear head, knowing you are OK right now. From Patricia Corrigan, www.nextavenue.org

Client Testimonials

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.

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.

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

Val B.

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.

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.

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.
