Speaking of falls, if you know someone who is an expert on the topic of preventing them, let me know.
Another important topic is that of scams, a number of our members have had experiences with them this past year and they are growing ever more sophisticated and persuasive. I’ve attached a warning about those involving Medicare. In general, if anyone asks you to provide them with cash or access to any of your accounts, DO NOT DO IT.
