Connecticut's Senior Medicare Patrol - Center for Family Justice - Griffin Health / Body Mechanics & Adaptive Equipment

Today, we'll sit down with the person heading up Connecticut's Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) through the Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging. They've got a few scenarios to discuss that can help folks on Medicare better understand how scammers can cleverly begin taking advantage of them, and some other good advice to help folks better understand this segment of health care coverage.

Then, we'll visit with the new acting executive director at the Center for Family Justice. We'll find out what that agency has been doing to step up their game under their  leadership to better protect and support families in crisis across the region - and let you know how you can help support that effort.

And we'll close chatting with a Griffin Health’s Physical Medicine specialist, previewing a free series of talks on Body Mechanics and Adaptive Equipment to help aging adults across the Naugatuck Valley prevent injury while raking, shoveling and gardening. We'll also talk about how supportive/adaptive equipment can help seniors maintain independence.
