Franklin County Office for the Aging

Happy 6/5! Most people become eligible for Medicare at 65 so we celebrate Medicare Fraud Prevention Week the week of 6/5 to help remember the steps to prevent, detect, and report Medicare fraud!

Every year in June, awareness is brought to Elder Abuse. This year we have a lantern to shine the light on elder abuse. On June 15th, World Elder Abuse Day, please join our office in wearing purple to raise awareness for those experiencing elder abuse. If you or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse, please call Adult Protective Services at (518) 481-1815.

the difference between Medicare Part A and Part B? Part A is for hospital insurance, Part B is for medical insurance, and Part A and Part B together are often called “Original Medicare”. Medicare Part C is called “Medicare Advantage”. Learn more about Medicare health coverage options: https://go.medicare.gov/3QWhqke

Last night, Franklin County Office for the Aging attended the Owls Head Mountain View Community Connection Open House! The Community Center was able to showcase all the work they have done to restore an old church into a place where the community can meet and enjoy activities. Congratulations and we look forward to working with your center!
