Clinkscales Elder Law Practice, P.A. is a pioneering law firm in Wichita, Kansas, that has redefined the way legal services are delivered to the aging population. Founded by attorney Randy Clinkscales, the firm goes beyond traditional estate planning to offer a holistic approach known as Life Care Planning. This model recognizes that as we age, our legal, financial, and healthcare needs become deeply intertwined. The team at Clinkscales Elder Law doesn't just include attorneys; it includes Elder Care Coordinators-social workers and healthcare professionals who help families navigate the complex world of long-term care. Located on North Ridge Road, the firm serves as a lifeline for families dealing with dementia, chronic illness, and the challenges of aging.
Life Care Planning
The firm's signature service, Life Care Planning, is designed to help elderly clients obtain good care, pay for that care without going broke, and preserve their quality of life. Services include:
- Care Coordination: Staff members assist with finding the right nursing home or assisted living facility, advocating for the resident's rights, and ensuring high-quality care.
- Asset Protection: structuring assets to qualify for benefits while preserving wealth for the spouse or heirs.
- Chronic Illness Support: Providing specialized guidance for families facing Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other degenerative conditions.
Medicaid and Veterans Benefits
Navigating government benefits can be a nightmare of bureaucracy. Clinkscales Elder Law Practice specializes in:
- Medicaid Planning: Helping families understand the eligibility rules for Medicaid and preparing the application to ensure approval for nursing home coverage.
- Veterans Benefits: assisting veterans and their spouses in obtaining the Aid and Attendance benefit to help pay for home care or assisted living.
Estate Planning and Special Needs
While the focus is on care, the firm also provides robust traditional legal services to secure the future:
- Wills and Trusts: Drafting documents that reflect the client's values and family dynamics.
- Special Needs Trusts: Creating legal structures to support children or adults with disabilities without disqualifying them from government assistance.
- Powers of Attorney: Ensuring that the right people have the authority to make decisions if the client cannot.
A Compassionate Approach
Randy Clinkscales and his partner, Adam Dees, founded this practice on a simple belief: no one should have to walk the journey of aging alone. They offer educational workshops and a supportive environment where families can find answers to questions they didn't even know to ask. Whether you are in a crisis situation with a hospitalized parent or planning ahead for retirement, Clinkscales Elder Law Practice, P.A. offers the expertise and empathy you need.
