Senate Bill 2301, The Illinois Alzheimer’s and Dementia Services Act, recently passed both chambers of the legislature in Springfield. This landmark legislation will establish minimum training standards for employees of long-term care facilities, residential, or community-based programs that advertise dementia specific services. Families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease should have some confidence that their loved ones are cared for by providers who have received training in dementia care.
A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease also requires timely and careful legal planning. Families should have the same confidence with their lawyer for Alzheimer’s disease planning. Call elder law firm Peck Ritchey, LLC, at (312) 201-0900 for a free consultation.
