Dementia and Alzheimer’s Planning: What Does it Mean?
The Basics
Individuals with Alzheimer’s, Dementia disease have unique legal and financial needs, as do their families. Alzheimer’s care costs are incredibly high. In New Jersey, depending on the level of care required, fees typically range between $8,000 and $15,000 per month. The cost range depends on whether care is provided at home, in an assisted living residence, at an adult day care program, or in a nursing home. As one can imagine, this cost is devastating to most families.
Navigating through the emotional and physical demands of Alzheimer’s and Dementia care is very challenging. Calling upon the assistance of a knowledgeable Elder law attorney, among other professionals, can help ease the burden on your family. Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. is an experienced Alzheimer’s and Dementia lawyer, having handled cases and lectured throughout New Jersey to various professional and community groups on topics including Alzheimer’s Planning, Asset Protection, Veterans Benefits, and NJ Medicaid.

Regardless of how far you or a family member are on the Alzheimer’s and Dementia journey and the value of your income and assets, Mr. Niemann will help you deal with Alzheimer’s planning at any stage. He will work to address the issues most important to you.

When Alzheimer’s and Dementia Strike a Loved One, We Are Here to Help.
Don’t let a lack of knowledge regarding long-term care cost you money! Many individuals unnecessarily spend down their life savings, sell their home and/or assets, and become “broke” to pay for nursing home care. The real tragedy of this is that they didn’t have to.
Let us show you how you or your loved one can get the long-term care you need without spending all of your hard-earned money on the family.
Why is Alzheimer’s Planning Important?
While Alzheimer’s planning for asset and income protection may sound like a basic and common practice, many people are not even aware that financial planning is possible. Planning involves protecting your assets and income, as well as providing for quality life care. By combining estate planning, asset protection strategies, and Medicaid planning, you can begin the process to protect your future while making sure a loved one (or yourself) receives the proper care he or she deserves.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia planning is an essential practice of elder law, and elder law is a unique field of law. It requires a concentrated knowledge of the special problems of families who are forced to deal with Alzheimer’s and Dementia or other serious degenerative diseases. Hanlon Niemann & Wright helps advise families living with devastating illnesses. One of Mr. Niemann’s key goals is to ensure quality care while protecting a family member’s personal dignity. After all, this is what each of us deserves.
To help achieve this goal, Mr. Niemann typically aims to protect assets as soon as possible. If you protect your money now, you can help protect it throughout the planning process and eventually qualify for Medicaid benefits. Shielding and protecting your assets now is the key to ensuring quality care for your loved one down the road.

I had a client who had come to me for advice. Her mother had done no financial planning and had just had a stroke. The daughter was given power of attorney and was afraid her mother was going to lose the house she and her children were living in if her mother went on Medicaid. Fred was able to think outside the box and come up with a solution that solved their issues. He was also excellent at explaining the pros and cons of each decision, so the family felt comfortable that they were making the correct decisions. I would easily refer more clients to Fred.

Early Dementia, Alzheimer’s. My Mom’s health deteriorated to the point that she required full-time care. She wanted to live at home but required regular assistance with the essentials of daily living (e.g., dressing, bathing). As her caregiver, the responsibility fell to me to figure out what to do. Thank goodness for Fredrick Niemann.

Fred is an amazing and dynamic person. I have attended a few of his workshops and CEU events over the years, and his interactive discussions have been both educational and entertaining. He is one of the few lawyers I do trust, and he does whatever he says he is going to do (Accountability). Whoever I have referred his way has always thanked me for connecting them, and this is why I continue to work w/ Fred—great person, excellent ethics, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

I am a NJ attorney with 40+ years of experience in the practice of law. Medicaid applications are not my area of expertise. I consulted with three law firms specializing in this area. Thankfully, I chose Hanlon Niemann & Wright. The firm is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. My sister received notice of enrollment in the Medicaid program within 40 days of the law firm’s application. Lorraine Banach, my legal assistant contact at the firm, was excellent. I will recommend Hanlon Niemann & Wright to all my family, friends, and clients who need legal services in Medicaid law.
