In partnership with HAYVN and presented by LifeCare Concierge
SPEAKERS:

ABOUT TOPIC
The hardest part of caregiving is often the beginning — recognizing that a parent needs more help, and figuring out how to bring it up without triggering resistance or damaging the relationship. In this candid conversation, Netta Levy, an elder care advisor, and Jennifer Matus, a home care specialist, will walk through the warning signs families often miss, practical strategies for navigating a resistant parent, and how to take those first steps toward getting the right support in place, before a crisis forces your hand.

Planning Ahead: The Financial and Legal Side of Caring for Aging Parents
In partnership with HAYVN and presented by LifeCare Concierge
SPEAKERS:
- Netta Levy, Founder of LifeCare Concierge, Bio
- Neil P. Phillips is a partner at Lennon Murphy & Phillips, LLC, Bio
ABOUT TOPIC
Most families don’t think about the financial and legal side of caregiving until they’re already in the middle of it — and by then, options are limited. In this honest conversation, Netta Levy, an elder care advisor, and Neil Phillips, an elder care attorney, will break down what documents and plans need to be in place now, what long-term care actually costs and how families typically pay for it, and how to have these conversations with aging parents while there’s still time to plan wisely.
