The Long Island Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is hosting the 2024 Legal and Financial Planning Conference on Saturday, April 6 at the Hilton Long Island in Melville from 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
The conference is free and will include breakfast. Speakers include Michael Ettinger, Ronald Fatoullah, Elizabeth Lambert Gullo, Donna Stefans, and Marie Taylor.
“As a chapter board member, I am honored to be one of the speakers at the Legal and Financial Planning Conference,” said Marie Taylor. “Changing the public’s attitudes and behavior towards the impact of Alzheimer’s disease on family members is important. It’s an opportunity for me to share awareness on the risk factors, warning signs, the unexpected cost involved and the added burden bestows on our caregivers.”
The conference is intended for people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, their care partners, and family members.
Topics that will be covered include Advanced Directives and Guardianships, Asset Protection and Trusts, Hidden Costs of Caregiving, Institutional Medicaid and Nursing Home Care and Protecting the Family Home. Free Respite care is provided by Home Companion Services with activities by the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center (LIADC).
“We are so excited for the conference this year,” said Taryn Kutujian, Senior Community Education Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association Long Island Chapter. “The conference will offer free resources and information that is open to all. This is an incredible opportunity to connect with elder care attorneys, community providers and the Alzheimer’s Association to support you.”
