Description
With fifteen years of service as a trustee, Cindy Healy knows how to stop financial elder abuse and works to educate others about the same.
A CPA for over thirty-five years, Cindy has long recognized the need to lend a voice to seniors and others not able to speak for themselves, whether it be in management of their money, health, home or family relations. As a trustee, she combines oversight of her clients’ finances with advocacy for the individuals she serves.
Cindy has made it her ongoing mission to educate others how to protect the elderly from crimes of financial abuse and to help families successfully navigate the path forward through the aging process.
