Does your area have a “Council on Aging” or other Senior Resource Center?
Most of these emply a “SHINE” Counselor, who is supposed to be an expert in that area.
The one in my town in MA was very helpful to me.
The one in my town in MA was excellent.
In 65 years I don’t think I’ve ever taken advantage of a “government” program. But the woman who met with us was incredible. She was informed and straightforward. She apologized for being “blunt”, and we all laughed. I would rather someone who laid it out plainly and makes sense than some of the wishy washy folks you usually run into from the state.
I would highly recommend that experience.
