The Missed Calls That Cost Lives and Livelihoods
Unanswered Calls During Medicaid Spend-Down Periods and Hospital Discharges
During critical transitions such as hospital discharge or the Medicaid spend-down period—when families must liquidate assets to qualify for long-term care—35% of law firm calls go unanswered. This delay can push back capacity assessments, guardianship filings, and advance directive execution by weeks, jeopardizing eligibility and increasing the risk of elder abuse. For example, a 78-year-old client discharged from the hospital after a fall may need a durable power of attorney for healthcare within 48 hours to authorize in-home nursing coordination, but if the attorney’s office is closed or staffed only during business hours, the opportunity is lost.
Emotional Resistance Delays Critical Safety Planning
Over 85% of families delay legal planning due to emotional resistance to discussing dementia, incapacity, or death. When a 72-year-old client experiences sudden functional decline, their adult children may call at 10 PM seeking help with a guardianship petition or advance directive. Without immediate access to an attorney, the window for timely capacity assessment closes, and the client may be deemed legally incapacitated before a plan is in place—resulting in costly court interventions and family conflict.
Fragmented Follow-Up During Care Transitions
With 70% of elder law clients transitioning between care settings—such as from home to assisted living or a skilled nursing facility—without consistent follow-up, attorneys lose continuity in long-term care planning. A client who moves from an in-home care setting to a memory care facility may have their durable power of attorney and advance directive overlooked during the transition. Without a centralized system, the attorney may miss the 14-day window to update legal documents after a functional ability assessment, risking non-compliance with Medicaid eligibility rules.

Why Elder Law Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture More Senior Clients
An AI receptionist answers calls at 2:17 AM during a family emergency, when a daughter calls to initiate a guardianship process after her father’s sudden cognitive decline. The system captures her concerns, books a consultation for 8:30 AM the next day, and automatically logs the case with notes on the client’s dementia diagnosis and need for in-home nursing coordination—ensuring the attorney can begin drafting the guardianship petition before the 72-hour window for capacity assessment expires.
Never Miss a Critical Deadline
Real-time calendar integration with the firm’s case management system ensures that all appointments for capacity assessments, advance directive signings, and Medicaid spend-down reviews are scheduled instantly. For example, after a client’s functional ability assessment reveals a decline in mobility and cognition, the AI receptionist schedules a 45-minute consultation within 10 minutes of the call, ensuring the attorney can draft a durable power of attorney before the client is moved to a care facility.
Trustworthy, Natural Conversations
Rime Arcana’s natural-sounding AI voices engage seniors in empathetic, human-like conversations during sensitive calls about elder abuse prevention or aging in place. When a 75-year-old client calls at 9 PM, distressed about a caregiver’s suspicious behavior, the AI listens, documents the concern, and escalates it to the attorney with a detailed summary—ensuring the firm can initiate an elder abuse prevention protocol within 24 hours, preserving the client’s autonomy and safety.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last winter, a client’s mother was hospitalized after a fall and needed a guardianship petition filed within 72 hours to authorize her move to a memory care facility. I was on vacation, and our office was closed. Answrr answered the daughter’s 1:45 AM call, captured all the details—including her mother’s recent functional ability assessment and concerns about elder abuse—and booked a same-day virtual consultation. We filed the petition the next morning. Without that 24/7 service, we’d have lost the case and the client’s independence.”

“During a Medicaid spend-down period last spring, we received 12 calls in one night from families overwhelmed by the process. One client had already spent $45,000 on care and needed to qualify for Medicaid within 30 days. Answrr handled each call, documented the asset history, scheduled intake appointments, and even reminded the client to gather medical records. We secured eligibility for all 12 clients—something we couldn’t have done without the AI system handling the after-hours load.”

“We serve a high volume of clients in rural areas who rely on in-home nursing coordination. When a client’s daughter called at 11 PM, panicked because her father’s home care aide had quit, Answrr immediately scheduled a consultation and noted the urgency for a durable power of attorney. The attorney drafted the documents by noon the next day, and we secured a new caregiver before the client’s condition worsened. This kind of responsiveness is now part of our standard service—thanks to 24/7 answering.”
