"... In 2007 when my maternal aunt moved into a Skilled Nursing Community, I discovered that life in a senior community can have more plots than a soap opera. In 2011, shortly after my mother developed Vascular Dementia as a result of her stroke, I moved her into an assisted living community for those with memory impairment.

One, it helps to be aware that life in the dementia world has its own idiosyncrasies and moves to its own rhythm and time ..."

Find Presentations on How to Prevent Medicare Fraud
Do you know what Medicare fraud looks like? It can be that flyer in the mail offering a free medical device, if you'll just give the company your Medicare number and doctor's name. But giving your number to an unauthorized supplier can lead to identity theft or result in denial of future Medicare claims. Learn about Medicare fraud at free meetings from The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP). The program's purpose is to educate older adults receiving Medicare and Medicaid benefits to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud. View the local News & Events and look for "How to Prevent Medicare Fraud Presentations."
