Common Caregiver Duties: What You Need to Know

Caring for an aging loved one comes with many responsibilities, from managing medical appointments to providing emotional support. U.S. News & World Report recently featured Attorney Judy Flynn from Falco and Associates P.C. in an article discussing the essential duties caregivers take on.

As the article notes, “Caregivers are often responsible for coordinating medical care, managing finances, and providing daily assistance, all while ensuring their loved ones maintain a high quality of life.” These responsibilities can feel overwhelming, but the right legal and financial planning can make a significant difference.

Attorney Flynn emphasized the importance of preparing for the future: “Having legal documents like a power of attorney and healthcare proxy in place can relieve stress for both caregivers and their loved ones.” Falco and Associates P.C. helps families navigate these critical decisions with confidence.

For Attorney Flynn, this topic is personal, as it is for many others. Even though she works in Estate Planning, she shared in the article, “Though I wasn’t surprised, I still felt shocked” when she received an Alzheimer’s diagnosis for her mom. She emphasized the importance of legal documents like power of attorney and healthcare proxies, which can help relieve stress for both caregivers and their loved ones.
