Welcome to the new MyElderAdvocate.com

    A painful source of family strife today is what to do with an elder parent, when they can no longer remain in their homes and require long-term care. There are many alternatives available, from an adult day care center to a nursing home. Quality home health care is hard to find and nursing homes are very expensive. Even a poorly run nursing home in New York City can cost over $400.00 per day. Medicare covers 100 days and Medicaid will pick up the rest of the costs only if an elder is impoverished.

What is a family supposed to do?

    Jack Halpern MPS, a licensed nursing home administrator, with 30 years of experience providing dignified care solutions for elders, is pleased to announce a new and unique service offering elders and their families, tailored solutions to their long-term care needs.

    According to Mr. Halpern, “Many people are forced to make rash decisions because of time constraints and extended family considerations. In my 30 years in the long-term care field, I have witnessed first hand, the emotional and financial devastation caused by an extended nursing home stay.”

    Mr. Halpern offers elders and their families’ services that include a written needs assessment, facility placement if necessary, elder advocacy for people who are already in a nursing home or other facility, and finally long-term care planning that is necessary to stay out of a nursing home.

    Mr. Halpern holds a master of professional studies degree and is a licensed nursing home administrator in New York and New Jersey.

    Accessibility is a unique and important aspect of Mr. Halpern’s services. His expertise in long-term care is available at any time.
