Monday, April 25, 2011 Dimentia & Teepa Snow
On Saturday April 16, I attended a conference with dimentia expert Teepa Snow. Park Avenue Adult Day Care hosted the event in Rock Hill, SC (thank you for a great day!!).
If I am being perfectly honest, I did not want to attend anything on a Saturday morning. I am so glad, however, that I forced myself to go!! Teepa is perhaps one of the most outstanding speakers I have ever heard. I also had the opportunity to have lunch with Ms. Snow to discuss with her how I could improve my elder law practice and to ask for her suggestions in my guardianship cases. I would encourage anyone who has any dealings with folks struggling with Alzheimer's or other forms of dimentia to avail yourself of Teepa's expertise. Check out her website: www.teepasnow.com.
As an elder law attorney, I have a lot of interaction with people and families struggling with dimentia. It is, of course, important for me to understand the legal issues associated with long term care planning, guardianship issues, estate planning, etc. It is also important, however, for me to know what is going on in the daily lives and struggles of my clients and their families. Thank you to Teepa Snow for helping me to become a better lawyer.
