Before founding Janet R. Morris, Esq. Elder Care Consulting, Janet worked in elder care for over 30 years at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, a non-profit legal services corporation in Los Angeles. Janet’s passionate advocacy for abused and neglected elders and dependent adults compelled her to establish Bet Tzedek’s Caregiver and Elder Justice units, both of which serve families who are navigating the difficult decisions of elder care. She frequently trains judges, doctors, lawyers, social workers, and other professionals in areas including legal and financial planning, capacity and decision-making, and elder and dependent adult abuse.
