Welcome to The Road Map to Aging Conference!

Join us for this free event! The Roadmap to Aging Conference aims to provide valuable information and resources for individuals navigating the complexities of aging. The conference is centered around the theme of Advanced Planning and will focus on the Five Wishes Book, a tool designed to help individuals make important decisions about their healthcare and end-of-life plans. The event will feature six key topics to address the various aspects of aging:

· Medicare – Understanding the ins and outs of Medicare benefits, eligibility, and coverage options.

· Medicaid – Exploring Medicaid's role in long-term care and how to navigate eligibility requirements.

· Legal – Assistance with essential legal advice regarding wills, power of attorney, guardianship, and estate planning.

· Crisis Management – Discussing strategies for managing unexpected health or financial crises as one ages.

· Home Care 101 – Offering insights into home care services, hospice care, and how to access support at home.

· Supportive Housing Communities – Addressing the different options for long-term care, including skilled nursing facilities and how to choose the right care setting.

The goal of the conference is to bring together local speakers and vendors to create an accessible, community-based event where attendees can get answers to their questions, access resources, and learn from experts in each of these fields. It is designed to provide peace of mind and practical tools for individuals and families planning for aging, all within the context of their local community.
