Elder Care Management
With Care and Trust

Providing elder care while managing your own family’s needs is demanding. I know. I have been supporting, counseling and ultimately 100% managing the needs of my aged and ill parents for years. While raising four children of my own.

My parents breathed an enormous sigh of relief when I assumed responsibility for managing their affairs, including acting as their agent with powers of attorney—always with full disclosure and after consulting them and their trusted medical, investment and other advisors.

I present myself to you as a knowledgeable and ethical partner in making the many transitions faced by all of us in our elder years.

I focus elders on their needs and abilities when making changes, and ensure high quality care and comfort in their golden years.

My Credentials

I am Keith F. Barnaby, Esq. I live and work in Frazer, PA, just west of Philadelphia. I also work from Sarasota, Florida, close to my parents.

My company Elder Care Management is available to serve you wherever you may be.

I bring to you 17 years of legal experience as a family lawyer, estate planner and trial advocate. I have owned and managed two law firms and served as a law professor. I am licensed to practice in California, New Hampshire and before the United States District Court.

Before attending law school, I conducting laboratory research in muscular dystrophy, heart disease and elemental biophysics. I was a nationally certified Emergency Medical Technician with seven years as a mountain rescue patroller, including service as Director of a rescue team overseeing the safety of thousands each week.

I have spent the majority of my professional life caring for others through a combination of compassion, technical skill and creativity. Anticipating problems, meticulous planning and execution with the care of a fiduciary are traits I bring to all I do.

My focus is always on what is best for the elders who have entrusted themselves to our care.

We work with elders and their families to ensure that transitions and inevitable crises are anticipated, so that all can enjoy this special time of life. That is the mission of Elder Care Management.

What Type of Elder Care
Do You Need?

Elder Transition Counseling & Planning

Our beloved elders know that it’s time to make a change in their lives, but often resist it. The decisions require letting go of comfortable routines and possibly leaving familiar surroundings and friends. Familial discussions around these issues can become tense.

An objective, experienced advisor can help.

The first steps are critical to creating an atmosphere of empowering, cooperative change. Sentimentality, stubbornness and practicality must all be on the table, and ground rules for decision-making and familial conversations must be established to ensure success.

Investigation & Due Diligence Services

Once a general framework for the elders’ needs and preferences has been established, hard-nosed investigation follows. Issues include:

This process is best done in stages to allow for separation between these important issues and also to ensure that the flow of information is not overwhelming.

Our emphasis is on the decision-making factors and goals established in the planning stage. Together we carefully compare as many options as possible which conform to the elder client's abilities, desires and needs.

Elder Care Oversight & Management

Perhaps you already have a plan in place with which you are comfortable. But the demands of health appointments, transportation, Medicare coverage, interfacing with financial and insurance institutions and even monthly bill payment are simply too much.

We offer complete disclosure and transparency to our clients.

We act only within the range of authority entrusted to us, and ensure that you are fully informed at all times.

We Can Help

No one can cut through red tape like a lawyer. Whether it’s long term care insurance, assisted living care investigation, nursing home care review, home care evaluation or real and personal property disposition, I am familiar with the territory.

I am retired from the active practice of law, but retain the experience and ability to serve the needs of any elder. At a fraction of the cost of legal counsel.
