Update - Elder Care Issues
Using the Internet, I searched and found a current, interesting article about Elder Care.
It is in the February 2008 issue of the Texas Bar Journal, available online.
“As the elderly population increases, so too do concerns about long-term care, estate planning, and quality of life. This issue looks at several timely elder law topics, including Medicaid planning and special needs trusts. We also introduce Safeguarding Our Seniors, a new video from the Texas Young Lawyers Association on recognizing and reporting elder abuse.”
Here is the link to the article:

I live up in the State of Washington. I don’t expect Texas law to be the same as Washington law, about these matters. But I suspect that some of the issues apply to citizens of every state.
This article might at least give us an idea of what the issues are, and what things we can talk about if and when we decide to visit with a local lawyer.
If you find out anything interesting about your state, post it here and share it with us. We know we can’t rely on it, but it may give us a sense of direction.
