Panelists this year will be:

- Michael Ayersman, insurance broker with MEA Senior Solutions
- Mary Ross-Tarkington, M.ED., NCC, national director of client relations with Elder Veterans Legal Aid Group
- Lisa Biddle-Puffer, vice president of quality and regulatory affairs for Kentucky Center for Assisted Living
“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/.
