Melville Law Firm Opens Public Resource Center for Seniors

In its move to a new, expanded headquarters, Genser Dubow Genser and Cona, an elder law and estate planning firm in Melville, is opening one of Long Island's first legal resource centers for seniors, families and caregivers.

Named the Susan C. Snowe Caregiver Resource Center, seniors and their families will have access to information, materials and resources on assisted living facilities, home care agencies, nursing homes, senior housing, long term care insurance, reverse mortgages and more in a confidential setting.  On designated days and times, community members can speak with a GDGC attorney at no charge.

“In addition to offering elder law services, we provide assistance and guidance with health care choices, care and living options and often refer our clients to supportive services and colleagues in our industry,” Jennifer B. Cona, Esq., managing partner, of the law firm said in a statement.  “The Susan C. Snowe Caregiver Resource Center offers such information and gives our clients a place to begin their research – all under one roof.  The Center is dedicated in memory of Susan C. Snowe, a compassionate social worker whose career spanned 40 years of helping the disabled and the elderly.”

In addition, the three conference rooms feature the first permanent exhibit of veteran press photographer Phil Stanziola’s original works of historical figures such as John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King Jr., Frank Sinatra, Richard Nixon and others. Stanziola is a retired photographer who worked at the World Telegram and The Daily News over the course of his 50 year career.  Many of Stanziola’s photographic works are held at the Library of Congress.

To inaugurate the resource center and photo gallery, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house for GDGC’s clients and the public on Thursday, June 14 from 11:30 a.m.- 2 p.m. at GDGC’s offices.
