tOOm I Regent Street An Important Message from Attorney Ken Gross & O THAV GROSS PC You Have Important Decisions to Make Welcome your parents to a new home at Regent Street. Pam Lindsay { Special to Boom It's a complicated world and you need the best answers to difficult questions. Even if you can afford the payments on a house that is underwater - if you leave it in your estate then when you pass away the bank will claim the deficiency against your estate. This could deprive your children of your desired inheritance. Besides this, if you're living on social security and a limited budget and have too much credit card debt, hospital/ medical bills or are underwater, you need to sit down with someone that understands the situation and will make sure you get the best possible advice. You can't keep paying until you are broke or become a ward of your children. THAV GROSS has been solving its clients' business, tax and financial problems since 1982.

Do you find — yourself saying that? I know I do, even though it's not where I raised my boys or devoted years of time cooking, cleaning and making a life. It's "home" because my parents are there, and I know I will always be welcome. I know that one day my parents — because of failing health — may need to leave that home and enter an assisted living facility. That's OK, though. An assisted living facility is a home in every sense of the word. As director for Regent Street, an assisted living community in West Bloomfield, I am aware of the emotions involved with caring for aging parents. I see it all the time and have walked through it with many families. I recognize the importance of finding the right new "home" for your loved one.

Many reach a point where they know they can no longer do it alone, either because their mom needs help with bathing or dressing, or dad can't cook his own meals and manage the various medications he's taking.
