"Assisting our elders and caregivers with comprehensive elder care planning."

Our View of Senior Life

Developments in assisted living, managed care, home care, insurance and financial products, as well as changes in the Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid programs have challenged seniors with decisions never faced by prior generations.
Additionally, many adult children are becoming caregivers to their aging parents while raising families of their own. These responsibilities often impose tremendous emotional hardships on all family members.
The Elder Law Firm of McCormick & Fracassa, P.C. understands that elders, like individuals of any age, are complex and face many challenges. Seniors have health, financial and personal issues that cannot be set aside, deferred or segregated while purely legal planning is put into effect.
Cooperating with physicians, geriatric care managers and other professionals, we guide families through the maze of law and bureaucracy. With understanding and consideration, our practice is dedicated to respectful, comprehensive assistance to our valued elders and their families in Kansas City and throughout northwestern Missouri.

Life Care Planning: A Better Practice.

Across America a growing number of elder law attorneys, dissatisfied with the limitations of a traditional elder law practice, are exploring how to best address their clients' chronic care needs. Many are adding registered nurses to their teams to provide a practical, comprehensive approach to filling a family's needs.
The Elder Law Firm of McCormick & Fracassa is one such firm. We realize that most people are caught up in today's hectic pace of living and cannot spend endless hours researching answers to the questions surrounding care for an aging loved one. Our job is to provide the answers you need, relieve those uncomfortable feelings and offer peace of mind. We establish a relationship for a lifetime and we call the process Life Care Planning.
Life Care Planning helps family members act in a timely fashion to avoid frantic action in a crisis. The process incorporates legal planning techniques along with the evaluation and monitoring of physical, psychological and financial needs now and as these needs change in the future.
Our Client Care Manager, a registered nurse, assesses the loved one's situation, researches possible solutions, and answers questions about the type, amount and quality of care that is necessary. Then we explore available sources of financial help.
