The conference will finish with a Dementia Friends training session, which is a crucial step in helping others to understand how you can support those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Expert Opinion

“We’re all really excited for the upcoming Later Life conference, which we’re hoping will shed some light on the ways in which planning ahead for the future can make a massive difference for both clients and their families.

“The recent social care reforms have created a lot of discussion, and it’s a topic we’ll be tackling head-on for our audience of other lawyers, finance professionals, care home professionals and a whole host of others involved in the later life sector.

“I’m also looking forward to some more light-hearted topics being discussed as well such as an insightful look into the world of mature cosmetics with our keynote speaker, Tricia Cusden, as well as a session from dating service Vida Consultancy on finding love in later life.

“It promises to be a very interesting, informative and thought-provoking event for everyone attending, and we’re committed to making sure everyone has a great day.” Emma McCann - Partner
