Patients and residents of elder care facilities like nursing homes, hospitals and assisted living retirement communities need the Notary services just as often as the rest of the population, perhaps even more. Mobile Notaries who serve them are usually friends of the signers’ families, notary employees working for eldercare facilities at which the signers live or Mobile Notary that provide the convenience of traveling to the signer’s doorstep. Many nursing homes in Massachusetts do not provide notarial services for their patients or clients; they call for independent mobile notaries like us to travel to their facilities and conduct the service on-site due to their client’s mobility concerns.
