Fiduciary Accounting Services, LLC was pleased to sponsor and attend the 19th LAS Conference on Elder Abuse on May 20th at UC Law San Francisco. Co-sponsored by the UCSF – UC Law SF Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy, the event is California’s leading conference for attorneys, fiduciaries, advocates, social workers, and care managers who are dedicated to preventing and responding to the abuse and exploitation of older adults. This year’s keynote speaker was Kathryn Stebner, Esq. of Stebner Gertler & Guadagni. She has been advocating for the rights of older adults in California since 1987 and discussed the conflict between the business of caring for the elderly and the level of support needed to care for the elderly properly. Ms. Stebner made a strong argument for the social change required to fight ageism. The broad offering of conference sessions addressed the ways older adults experience elder abuse and provided effective tools and strategies to identify and address issues that impact older adults.
