Who it is for
Adult children, and nieces, nephews, spouses and friends, helping a parent or relative in New Jersey with the paperwork of getting older.
Not the right fit if
Your parent lives outside New Jersey, or you need a document drafted or a Medicaid application prepared: that is a job for an elder law attorney. Not legal, medical or tax advice.
Why it is different
- Program limits and deadlines (Stay NJ, Senior Freeze, ANCHOR, Medicare appeals) as published and checked in November 2026.
- Explains what not to sign at a nursing home admission, and why a power of attorney is not enough for Social Security.
- Both formats in one download: EPUB, and the print-layout PDF for the worksheets.
What is inside
- 14 chapters. The conversation, the documents to sign while your parent can, advance directives and POLST, the family binder, Social Security, Medicare, the hospital stay, rehab and nursing homes, Medicaid basics, senior property tax relief, the bills, sharing the work, and what comes after.
- A checklist in every chapter. And all of them together in Appendix A.
- One family, followed through. A worked example with an invented family shows each step.
- Worksheets for a family binder. Plus a glossary and the official sources.
- Questions for the professionals. What to ask an elder law attorney, an accountant or the agency involved.

Common questions
What formats do I get, and what can I read it on?
Both, in one zip: an EPUB for e-readers and reading apps (Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, most Android reading apps, and Kindle through Amazon's Send to Kindle, which accepts EPUB files), and the 95-page print-layout PDF for any computer, tablet or phone. There is no DRM. The download link shows right after payment and comes by email. The free sample is the first 10 pages of the PDF.
What's inside?
Fourteen chapters: the documents to sign while your parent still can (durable power of attorney, advance directive, HIPAA authorization and will) and how New Jersey requires each to be signed; Social Security; Medicare dates and the 3-day rule for rehab; observation status, discharge notices and fast appeals; nursing home admission agreements; Medicaid's five-year look-back; Stay NJ, Senior Freeze and ANCHOR; keeping the bills paid; and the move from caregiver to executor. Checklists, worked examples, binder worksheets, a glossary and sources are included.
Is this legal, medical or tax advice?
No. It is general information about the paperwork. MCC Solutions LLC is not a law firm or a CPA firm. Documents should be drafted by an elder law attorney, care decisions belong with your parent's doctors, and Medicaid planning needs professional advice.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If it is not right for you, email us within 14 days of buying for a full refund, as the terms say. If a file will not open, reply to your order email and we will make it right.
