Chamber to host luncheon on elder care

The Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce is planning a luncheon on the Essentials of Elder Care for Thursday, May 7. The event will be held at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, with doors opening at 11 a.m. and the luncheon beginning at 11:30 a.m.

A panel will cover information about how to make decisions about aging parents and how to care for them well, including a checklist of what to do and information about trusts.

“We think it hits a lot of demographics, whether you are a 30 year old or older,” Chamber Director Suzan Doidge said. “We feel like this is a timely topic. People tend to put it off, but it’s amazing some of the things you can put into play now that will take care of your family one day.”

The panel will feature Cynthia Lamar-Hart of Maynard Cooper & Gale, Carol Hines of Regions Bank and Jennifer Mancuso of Always Best Care. Former state Rep. Paul DeMarco will moderate the discussion.
