Warm summer months often lead to more door-to-door solicitations.

Scammers often try and solicit donations for charity, offer a home repair service or pose as a utility worker.

Greetings one and all…

Open to the general public.

Per the National Council on Aging, every 13 seconds an older adult is seen in an ER for a fall related injury, and 1 in 3 older Americans falls every year. Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries for persons aged 65 and older. Even minor falls can be problematic when they instill a fear of falling, making it difficult for elders to stay active, sometimes leading to depression.
