New Seminar Videos Available On-Demand
 
 
As mentioned in past newsletters, we are continuing to hold "virtual"
seminars using the Zoom delivery platform, and we'll do this in the
future, especially while the Covid-19 pandemic continue to plague us.
And September was an active month for us, with these webinars
headlining our schedule for the month:
* September 15 - Aging is Cool: Today's Active Older Adult
This session featured guest presenter Amy Temperley, co-founder and
CEO of "Aging is Cool," an organization aimed at helping folks stay
active and engaged as they age. Amy's delightful presentation covered
a host of ways that seniors -- anyone, really -- can stay engaged with
the world around them and enhance their quality of life.
* September 22 - Understanding Advance Directives
In an updated edition of last years acclaimed session on the topic of
Advance Directives and how they work in today's medical world, Vitas
Healthcare's Brittany Burgher provided an overview of how Covid-19 has
accelerated the interest in Advance Directives, along with a solid
clinical analysis of how these types of provisions apply.
* New to Medicare - 2021 Edition
Our annual update session for those ageing into Medicare eligibility
-- as well as those needing to update their understanding of
Medicare's parts and regulations -- was held August 28, and provided
attendees a broad overview of how this massive senior healthcare
program is structured.
In keeping with our regular practice, these sessions were recorded
and are made available on the Foundation's website for on-demand
viewing.
 
 
"Don't try to be young. Just open your mind. Stay interested in
stuff. There are so many things I won't live long enough to find out
about, but I'm still curious about them. You know people who are
already saying, 'I'm going to be 30 -- oh, what am I going to do?'
Well, use that decade! Use them all!"
Betty White
 
Our Continued Focus on Elder Fraud
 
 
As we mentioned in last months newsletter, our Foundation has joined
forces with AMAC, Inc., AMAC Action, and Travelers Insurance in
promoting awareness of the Elder Fraud problem and the various frauds
and scams repeatedly targeting our senior population. With this
partnership, our editorial calendar for 2021 now contains more than a
dozen specific post on the subject of fraud, with a particular
emphasis on nefarious attacks on our seniors.
All of these focused reports can be found on our Foundation website's
blog page ("News & Info"

with these specific articles appearing in the remaining weeks of 2021:
* Common Financial Scams Against Seniors and What to Do If It
Happens to You
* Thoughts on Detecting a Hacker's Visit
* How Can We Help the Elderly Avoid Being Scammed? An Interview with
a Travelers Investigative Services Expert
* 5 Tips to Help Avoid Elder Financial Abuse
* What Is Elder Financial Abuse and How Do You Help Prevent Scams?
These topics -- and there will likely be additional Elder
Fraud-related articles in between these scheduled posts -- complement
the broad range of topics we present in our weekly blogs. Check it out

* The 25th edition of our highly acclaimed "Sudden Death: Are You
Prepared" notebook series program is scheduled to start Monday
November 8, with the second and third parts following on November 15
and November 22. For this edition, we're returning to the Villages
Public Library at Pinellas Plaza, 7375 Powell Road, Wildwood, FL
34785. This will be an afternoon session, with all three sessions to
be held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The program's objective is to help
ensure that survivors are prepared to deal with the aftermath of a
loved one's death, guiding attendees through the creation of a
"Survivor Notebook" to help survivors cope after the death of a spouse
or key family member. Reservations are now open for this series, but
are limited due to physical space limitations at the library. To
register for the series, contact the Foundation office at 888-750-2622
