Watch out for sneaky text messages; you might sign up for a new Medicare plan. Offers for senior cards, flex cards, or other bonuses like food, gas, utilities, or rent are sent through text messages to get your information to switch you to a Medicare Advantage plan. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If your plan does get switched when you didn't want it to, contact the SMP.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001, a day that changed our nation forever. At the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, we pause to honor the memory of all who were lost, and to thank the first responders, service members and everyday heroes whose courage carried our communities through.

Many of the individuals we serve remember that day vividly, and their resilience continues to inspire the work we do every day on behalf of Broward's older adults.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

There is hope. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24/7.

988 is the three-digit, nationwide number that connects you directly to the 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline, a national network of more than 200 crisis centers helping thousands of people through crisis every day. These centers are supported by local and state partners as well as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

🧠 When should memory loss concern you?
Forgetfulness can be normal, but changes in memory and thinking may have other causes—including medications, vitamin deficiencies, or treatable conditions.

If you’re concerned, talk to a doctor.

On Thursday, August 27, the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County had the pleasure of participating in the Caregiver Training and Support Workshop at the Lauderdale Lakes Alzheimer’s Day Care Center.

We were grateful for the opportunity to share valuable information on how caregivers and older adults can protect themselves from scammers, recognize red flags of elder abuse and scams, and stay prepared, informed, and empowered.

Together, we can help create safer communities where older adults feel confident, informed, and protected. 💙

Hurricane season is still here, and staying prepared means looking out for our most vulnerable neighbors. 🌀

The Area Agency on Aging of Broward County (AAABC) reminds you that it is not too late to sign up for the Broward County Vulnerable Population Registry. This registry is a vital tool that helps local emergency workers plan responses and check on individuals during disaster recovery efforts.
📋 Who should register?

Broward County residents with a disability, frailty, or health issue. Anyone at risk who chooses to remain at home during a storm rather than evacuating to a shelter.

📞 How to sign up:

Online: Visit broward.org/Registry
Phone: Call 311 or 954-831-4000
