Join us for Medicaid Monday, when you’ll get a special preview of the 31st Annual Elder Law Forum to be held on Thursday, May 14 in Albany and virtually by Zoom. Lou Pierro, Aaron Connor, and Frank Hemming, hosts of the Forum, will break down the most pressing issues shaping elder law, long-term care, and public policy in New York, and about the leaders who will be bringing you up-to-the-minute information.

This year’s Forum comes at a pivotal moment. We’ll examine the legislative response to the Governor’s Budget and what it means for access to care, along with key updates expected from state leaders at the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Office for the Aging. You’ll also get a first look at evolving changes to New York’s Medicaid programs, and what they could mean for eligibility, planning, and services.

Aaron will dive into the growing crisis of elder financial abuse and the efforts underway to prevent and prosecute exploitation, while Lou will be exploring the future of home care, and whether we can keep the long-standing promise to make aging in place affordable and possible with funding and staffing available today.

From there, Frank will tackle the difficult decisions families face when transitioning to assisted living or nursing home care. Plus, we outline the increasingly important role of private-pay strategies in affording long-term care, and how our speakers on May 14 will cover techniques that cut ‘through the noise.’

Don’t miss this timely and insightful discussion that sets the stage for our biggest event of the year and helps you stay ahead of the changes impacting clients, families, and the aging population across New York.

Free to attend.
