February 2025 Guest Speaker
Presenter:
Michael Ross
Lattice Wealth Management Group Inc.
Mike Ross has been a Financial Advisor since 1987. He has worked with the senior community throughout those 38 years, first with a major Wall Street bank and since 2021 as an independent financial advisor. He is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy (BA 1981) and the State University of New York (MA 1984).
Over the years, he has seen confusion from clients on how to best pay for senior living services. His presentation was an overview of seven funding sources to pay for care, as well as a set of steps seniors or their families can use to decide what type of care is affordable and meets their needs.
