We all hope that when our loved ones age, they will be able to remain independent and care for him or herself. In the event that this reality is out of reach, we often find ourselves hoping that family and friends can step in to help out when needed. Yet, in many instances, even this is not enough to provide an elderly loved one with the care and supervision they need. This is why so many New Yorkers turn to nursing homes that they trust will keep their loved one's safe and healthy.
Emergency preparedness and what nursing homes need to do
When medically frail and dependent individuals rely on a nursing home's care, it's unacceptable for the nursing home to be ill-prepared for an emergency. Emergencies happen, whether they're due to fire or a snowstorm. The facility needs to have steps in place to protect its residents and to make sure they get the care they need during the emergency situation.

While estate planning is certainly a key aspect of this endeavor, so, too, is care planning.
