Department on Aging. We go every year. When we first started doing this, it was one of the best-kept secrets in the area. We could just walk in and sit down with our information. People started to catch on, and now everyone needs an appointment. We have some paperwork to fill out ahead of time, too.

I am glad more people are using the service. The calls are so annoying. When it comes to scams, many seniors are easy pickings.
