Local Long Term Care Resources

It Takes a Village
We at Bamford Financial recognize that long term care insurance and Medicaid make up only a small piece of the vast puzzle that is senior care. There are many components to consider from Elder Law and living wills to choosing a care community and services.
We don’t know everything there is to know about senior care. We are not experts on every company and service available to seniors and their families. As the old saying goes, if you can’t be the library, be the librarian.
Below is a resource catalog with companies and professionals that Bamford Financial has worked with in the past that can educate you on every aspect of senior care. These are trusted professionals that you can turn to for advice and services including: Financial Services, Elder Law Resources and Community Resources.
