More than 25 elder care industry sponsors and exhibitors will gather for the Annual Cona Elder Law Caregiver Conference, discussing “The Loneliness Epidemic: Tackling Isolation, Care Needs & Finances In Senior Living,” on Wednesday, May 8th, 2024, from 5:00 to 8:30 pm at the Hilton Long Island / Huntington, located at 598 Broadhollow Rd, Melville, NY 11747.

“Loneliness has been declared a public health epidemic by the US Surgeon General because it reportedly leads to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and depression,” said Jennifer Cona, Founder and Managing Partner of Cona Elder Law, located in Melville. “The majority of adults aged 65 and older report feeling lonely. For this already vulnerable population, it is critical that we consider alternatives to aging-in-place.”
This year’s conference will focus on social senior living options and explore key differences between assisted living, independent living, continuing care retirement communities, the ALP program and the CDPAP program, allowing different options for family and financial support.
Topics will also include financing senior living, including asset protection planning, Medicaid planning and eligibility, and provide practical tips for determining the best way to finance needed care and services.
Presenting Sponsors Include: Cona Elder Law, Gurwin Healthcare Systems, Amber Court Assisted Living, The Bristal Assisted Living, Encore Luxury Living, Community Care Home Health Services, and Family & Children’s Association.
