Fraudsters trick people into signing up for hospice by offering “free” services like house-cleaning or medical equipment. Never give out your Medicare Number and never sign anything in exchange for “free” services — it’s a scam!
Always talk to your doctor before signing up for any medical-related service or supplies. If you suspect fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE or go online: https://go.medicare.gov/4x4SPdI.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚
At Care Connection for Aging Services, we recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health—at every stage of life. As we age, life changes can bring new challenges, but support, connection, and understanding can make all the difference.
If you or someone you know could use support, Care Connection is here to help. Together, we can break the stigma and build a community that cares for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
