Westchester Elder Law Attorneys Sara E. Meyers and Samantha A. Lyons to Shed Light on Aging in Place at Lunch & Learn Program
Westchester County, N.Y. (April 17, 2023) – On Wednesday, April 26, Westchester County elder law attorneys Sara E. Meyers, Esq. and Samantha A. Lyons, Esq. of Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP, with offices in White Plains and Somers, N.Y., will present “Aging in Place: A Guide to Growing Older at Home” as part of the firm’s 2023 Lunch & Learn Series. The free educational program is open to the public – though space is limited.
The program, held from noon to 1:30pm at the firm’s White Plains location, explores how to prepare a home to safely age in place through senior-proofing, necessary legal documents, strategies for bill paying and financial management, as well as an overview of the Medicaid home care program. Those interested are encouraged to register early by calling 914-948-1500 to reserve their spot. A light lunch and refreshments are included.
“The vast majority of seniors wish to remain in their own home as they age,” said Ms. Meyers, a member at the firm. “Aging in place can be a reality for many – though it’s important to plan ahead and understand what options are available… from necessary estate planning documents and financial management tools to senior-proofing and Medicaid home care eligibility.”
Held on the last Wednesday of each month, Lunch & Learn programs shed light on a variety of important elder law and estate planning topics. Future programs include:
