Cona Elder Law Annual Caregiver Conference to return in May

Cona Elder Law will host its 9th Annual Caregiver Conference, ‘Rewiring and Retiring Well on Long Island: The Secret Ingredients No One Talks About,’ on Wednesday, May 7, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m at the Hilton Long Island/Huntington in Melville.

Intended to offer an opportunity for older adults and caregivers to connect with industry professionals, find resources and learn about various aspects of elder care, organizers of the free event expect nearly 200 community members to attend.

The event will feature a presentation from Melissa Negrin-Wiener, Esq., senior partner, Cona Elder Law, titled ‘Protecting your Assets to Retire Well and Leave a Legacy’ as well as from Evelyn Gellar, managing director, Forest Hills Financial Group, titled ‘Managing Retirement Income and Risk During Tumbling Tariff Markets.’

The evening will feature a special panel discussion on ‘Rewiring and Retiring’, moderated by Jennifer B. Cona, Esq., founder and managing partner of Cona Elder Law.

“Most of us can’t wait for the day when we can hang it all up and do what we want. But when that glorious time comes, many suffer from loss of identity, lack of purpose, inability to relate to others, depression, and more,” said Cona. “In today’s economic climate, many older adults need to ‘rewire’ as they need an additional source of income to supplement retirement benefits. So, who are the people who are actually thriving in retirement and how are they doing it? How do you make the golden years actually golden?”

The evening will also feature an Exhibitor Expo with over 30 elder-care industry sponsors and exhibitors who are presenting on topics including home care, assisted living, reverse mortgages, long-term care insurance and caregiver support services.

The Hilton Long Island/Huntington is located at 598 Broadhollow Road in Melville. Click here for more information and to register for the conference.
