Fallbrook Parkinson's Support Group to meet Jan. 26

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Parkinson’s Support Group is resuming after its holiday break. The support group will hold its monthly meeting Friday, Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to noon in the fellowship hall of Christ the King Lutheran Church, 1620 S. Stage Coach Lane.

This month’s speaker is Richard Scott Stewart, attorney and counselor at law, who will focus on the topic “Caregiver Economics: How to Protect Yourself while Taking Care of Your Loved Ones.”

Stewart has concentrated his law practice on solving the legal problems affecting the California senior population. These problems include Medi-Cal benefit law, estate planning and asset protection and retention. Stewart graduated from California Western School of Law in 1995. He is a member of the California Bar Association, San Diego County Bar Association, California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. He is the incoming co-chair of the San Diego County Bar Association Elder Law section.

Stewart has appeared as a regular guest on the Lawyer in Blue Jeans radio show. He conducts regular seminars and workshops on elder law topics in Southern California for caregiver support groups, including the Southern Caregiver Resource Association; the Parkinson’s Disease Association; the George G. Glenner Alzheimer’s Family Centers and the Alzheimer’s Association. He has also taught classes on Medi-Cal eligibility to discharge planners, nurses and social workers at Sharp, Scripps and Pomerado hospitals as well as various in-home care providers, including LivHome.

The program will be followed by a time of sharing, coffee and refreshments. The meeting is held in support of people with Parkinson’s disease, care partners and people interested in improving the world of those affected by Parkinson’s disease.

The meetings are held the fourth Friday of each month. For more information, call Irene (760) 731-0171 or Vicki (760) 728-7117.
