Families of aging loved ones have an opportunity tomorrow, Tuesday, April 8, to have their tough questions answered, during the Morning Pointe Foundation’s Caregiver Café at Morning Pointe of Brentwood, Tennessee, at 1522 Wilson Pike.
The Brentwood Caregiver Cafe
“How to Make Tough Decisions for Your Aging Loved One” is a free expert panel discussion, courtesy of the Morning Pointe Foundation. It will run from 6–7:30 p.m. Three local professionals will answer frequently asked questions in areas of elder law, financial planning, Medicare and Medicaid, and veterans’ benefits. There will also be a question-and-answer session for attendees.
This year’s panelists are:
- Josh Hunter, associate attorney with Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning
- Jordon Conoway, Medicare volunteer coordinator with GNRC and SHIP Aging and Disability Services
- Mary Ross-Tarkington, M.ED., NCC, national director of client relations with Elder Veterans Legal Aid Group
“A lot of times, families are not prepared when their aging loved one has a sudden change in condition, so we want to help them have answers to these questions before they arise,” said Miranda Perez, executive director of the Morning Pointe Foundation. “Part of our nonprofit’s service to the community is to help empower families so they can be prepared to make more confident decisions about their loved one’s future.”
The Brentwood Caregiver Cafe is free and open to the public, and no tickets or reservations are required. Light refreshments will be provided. For more information, visit morningpointe.com/caregiver-cafe/.
