⚠️ Medicare Enrollment Scams to Watch For
📞 Unsolicited Calls: Medicare never calls to ask for your Social Security number, bank info, or to pressure you into switching plans. Hang up immediately.

💰 “Too Good to Be True” Offers: Scammers may promise unlimited benefits, cash rewards, or special discounts. If it sounds unrealistic, it is.

📬 Fake Letters or Emails: Fraudsters often copy Medicare logos to look official. Always verify the sender before responding or clicking any links.

🏠 Unexpected Home Visits: Legitimate Medicare representatives do not show up unannounced. Do not share documents with anyone you didn’t schedule.

🖥️ Suspicious Websites: Some sites mimic Medicare to trick seniors into giving personal information. Only use trusted links.

✔️ Trusted Help for Choosing a Medicare Plan
Use the official Medicare website for safe, unbiased plan comparisons:

The official U.S. government website for Medicare, a health insurance program for people age 65 or older and younger people with disabilities.

🌿 Seniors & Supplements: When “More” Isn’t Always Better!

Many older adults take vitamins or supplements to stay healthy — but did you know that *too much* of a good thing can sometimes cause harm?

👉 **Possible risks include:**
• Dangerous interactions with prescription meds
• Overdosing on fat-soluble vitamins like A & D
• Nerve damage from long-term excess B6
• Hidden duplicates from taking multiple products

💡 **Tips for safer supplement use:**
✅ Always talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting new supplements.
✅ Bring all your bottles (vitamins + meds) to your next visit.
✅ Focus on healthy foods first — they give you more than just vitamins!

👩‍⚕️ Your health is precious. The best supplement plan is one made *with* your healthcare provider, not just the internet shelf.

**Disclaimer:** This blog is for general information only and does not represent legal advice. Everyone’s situation is different, so it is always advisable to speak with a qualified attorney before making decisions.

A **will** is a legal document that explains how your money, property, and personal belongings should be divided after your death. It ensures that your wishes are respected and can help reduce confusion or disputes among family members.

A **living will** is different. It focuses on your health, not your property. This document tells doctors what medical treatments you do or do not want if you cannot speak for yourself. For example, it can state whether you wish to be placed on a breathing machine, receive feeding tubes, or continue life support in serious conditions.

**Key factors to consider:**

* Do you want to decide who inherits your assets? → Will
* Do you want control over end-of-life medical care? → Living Will
* Many people benefit from having both.

September is Falls Prevention Awareness Month!

A reminder to keep our loved ones safe at home. Simple changes can make a big difference: remove clutter and loose rugs, ensure hallways and stairs are well-lit, and install grab bars in bathrooms. Encourage wearing sturdy, non-slip shoes and keeping frequently used items within easy reach. Regular exercise, like balance or strength training, also helps maintain stability. Finally, schedule vision and medication checkups, since both can affect balance. Small steps today can prevent dangerous falls tomorrow, supporting independence and peace of mind for older adults and their families.
