Information Fair

Medicaid fraud and abuse investigator Nikki Henderson will be guest speaker at an information fair about elder abuse and neglect that the University of Louisville is sponsoring.

Kent School of Social Work students who will graduate this year with a gerontology specialization have planned the fair for professionals who work in aging services and for older adults who could use such services. The students will be available to discuss elder issues such as emotional, physical, sexual and financial abuse.

Henderson, a retired Louisville police sergeant and Kent alumna, now works for the state Office of the Attorney General as an investigator in the Medicaid fraud and abuse control division. Her talk will be from noon to 1 p.m. The luncheon starts at 11:30 a.m.

Continuing education credits are available to professionals who attend.

April 23, 10 a.m.–3 p.m.
The Kling Center, 219 W. Ormsby Ave.
Admission is free and open to the public. Luncheon seating is limited.
Make reservations by April 10 with Martha Fuller or 502-852-3933, or Linda Exton or 502-852-3934.

I bet they don't even have a clue about guardianship/Medicaid fraud!

I hope NASGA members will be able to attend this conference and tell how their loved ones have been deceived by the system.

Most wards have their assets intentionally drained as fast as possible so the ward qualifies for medicaid, paid for by us the honest hardworking taxpayer.

In my state, approximately 11 BILLION DOLLARS in the red, medicaid is one of the largest if not the largest cost to the working, taxpaying citizens of our state.

This would be an intersting event to attend -- and ask the speakers about the purposeful spending down of guardians to make their wards Medicaid eligible.
