On April 8, the Morning Pointe Foundation will present “How to Make Tough Decisions for Your Aging Loved One,” its annual Caregiver Café panel discussion for seniors and their families, at Morning Pointe of Brentwood at 1522 Wilson Pike.
The free event, which runs from 6-7:30 p.m., will allow participants to ask questions from a panel of three experts in areas of financial planning, Medicaid and Medicare, veterans benefits. This is the second year the Caregiver Café has met in person with a panel discussion.
Panelists will be:
- 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
“Caregiver Café is really about meeting people where they are and addressing some of the most commonly asked questions about caring for older loved ones,” said Miranda Perez, executive director of the Morning Pointe Foundation. “A lot of family members find themselves in unfamiliar territory when an older loved one has a health event. We’d love to help answer some of those questions, to empower area seniors and their loved ones so they will have good plans in place that they can all be happy with.”
Tickets are not required for the event. Light refreshments will be provided. For more information about the event, visit morningpointe.com/caregiver-cafe/.
