You’ll Be in My Heart

Written by Stephanie Fisch, Director of Public Relations and Community Education. I recently attended a concert benefitting Penn Memory Center for continued dementia research at the Newtown Theatre with Jerry, Donna, and Kathleen, where the Phil Collins tribute band, Hello I Must Be Going put on a stellar performance. Betsy Szamboti and the team at Artis Senior Living of Yardley organized a very successful event, and I found it inspiring to be in a room full of people working toward a common goal to end Alzheimer’s for future generations. We value our partnerships with both Artis Senior Living of Yardley [...]

Elder Care Advocacy: Bryan Adler’s Story

Elder care advocacy is at the heart of what we do at Rothkoff Law Group. The various backgrounds, experiences, and personal stories of our staff enrich our ability to serve, and all have a commonality in the desire to pursue the delicate tangles of law and elder care advocacy. This is Bryan J. Adler, Esq., CELA’s story. Recently, I was in my office meeting with the children of a prospective client. We had spent nearly two hours together talking about their mother’s health and concerns about planning for her care.  Nearing the end of our discussion, the daughter asked pointedly: [...]

Sunday With Sinatra (and My Dad)

My dad loved Frank Sinatra. I vividly remember as a young child driving on Sunday mornings with my dad in his Oldsmobile 98, listening to Sid Mark and Sunday with Sinatra. As a young child, I did not understand how my dad could enjoy that type of music. Back in the 1970s, there was no escape from the Oldsmobile and Sinatra, as I did not have an iPhone, iPad, or satellite radio at my disposal. However, as I have aged, I have grown fond of Sinatra's music. It may have to do more with remembering the quality time I spent [...]

An Eternal Love

“Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.” –– AnonymousAs is the nature of our elder care law practice, I usually meet our client or their spouse at a time when at least one spouse has deteriorated in health to the point of needing some form of long-term care. In some cases, a spouse has recently passed away. In others, a spouse passes during our representation. In most cases, the clients have been married for many years, typically over 50 years.I attempt to not only understand the current situation but also to obtain background [...]

Bobby The Pug: Life Lessons Learned

“We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”-- Immanuel Kant During the pandemic, many people learned the value of having a pet as a companion for both comfort and support, especially those who never previously had a pet. My family and I have been dog owners since 1994, having adopted several pugs over the years. Our dogs have taught us many things, including the value of empathy. Our first pug was a very special dog named Bobby, who died in 2006. During the twelve years Bobby was in our lives, Bobby taught my family and [...]

Baseball: Uniting the Generations

“The game of baseball has always been linked in my mind with the mystic texture of childhood, with the sounds and smells of summer nights and the memories of my father.” –– Doris Kearns Goodwin Now that the MLB lockout has been resolved, it is time to play ball. Opening day at Citizens Bank Park is now scheduled for Friday, April 8th. Although the game of baseball is not as popular as it was when I was young, the sentiments of Doris Kearns Goodwin ring true with me. Those who know me well understand I have four main passions in [...]

Update on Rothkoff Law Group

We have attempted to provide some semblance of normalcy regarding our services and outreach after over 18 months of revamping business practices and our interactions with clients and our professional partners. We originally scheduled in-person professional appreciation events for the end of September and a client appreciation event for early December, as we have done in previous years. Unfortunately, due to the Delta variant, we decided to postpone these large in-person events and will reschedule them and/or turn these events into a virtual event. We believe we have a duty to protect our senior clients, the public, and our [...]
