Scotty, locate the PA state bar association's online website and see if it has a list of "practice areas"; then look for Elder Law.    You can also check the bar associations of local good sized cities near you.

List the questions you want to ask, if you don't find them on the firms' website, then call and ask them.    If you can get to an attorney, you can also determine if this is someone with whom you could work.   If not, move on.

Some things to ask, if they're not on the firm's website, are length of experience in Elder Law, ancillary practice areas (some EL attorneys also do litigation), hourly rate, if a retainer is required, and how much, etc.

If you have potential real estate issues, either review the firm's website or ask if they have a real estate attorney in the firm.
