Panelists addressed a variety of questions related to helping aging parents during the Morning Pointe Foundation’s free Caregiver Café in Hardin Valley, Knoxville, on March 11, “How to Make Tough Decisions for Your Aging Loved One.”
The Program
Attendees from around the greater Knoxville area gathered at Morning Pointe of Hardin Valley on Reagan Road. A panel of three local experts shared their most frequently asked questions regarding financial planning, Medicaid and Medicare and veterans benefits. The event ended with opening the floor for direct audience questions.
The panelists were Glenn Kyle, CELA, attorney with Franklin & Kyle Elder Law, LLC; Greg Boling, vice president of care planning with Miser Wealth Partners; and Charles McGhee, veteran service officer with the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services.
The audience was engaged in the presentation and asked a lot of questions of the panelists, lining up to speak to each of them after the program.
“We had such good feedback from our attendees for this event,” said Miranda Perez, Morning Pointe Foundation executive director. “Our audience members asked some great questions about how to help their loved ones with transitions, and our experts were able to help provide answers and resources for them. This is one reason the Foundation is here.”
