Top elder care planning financial advisors working with high-net-worth individuals in New York
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
When you’re managing the care and finances of an aging parent or relative, you need an advisor who understands the unique challenges that come with elder care planning. A common mistake is overlooking the coordination between medical needs, legal documents, and financial resources, which can lead to costly delays or gaps in care.
- Long-term care costs. Ask how they help you plan for expenses like assisted living or in-home care, balancing quality and affordability.
- Legal and financial coordination. Confirm they work with your estate attorney and understand powers of attorney, guardianships, and Medicaid rules.
- Income and asset management. Look for advisors who can align your loved one’s income streams with their care needs without jeopardizing eligibility for benefits.
- Family communication. Elder care often involves multiple relatives; ask how they facilitate clear, ongoing conversations to keep everyone informed and aligned.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
