They hope that you will make that mistake just as most of the TV ads with a 1-800 number for Medicare advice hope you won't notice that they aren't really Medicare employees.

If you want unbiased advice, go talk to the SHINE folks. They are knowledgeable, unbiased, and have your best interests at heart. You can also contact the area agency on aging for this part of Florida

Elder Options

They are funded under the Older Americans Act and are a great resources for all seniors.

And if you want something to do, contact our congressional delegation to urge them to reauthorize the Older Americans Act. This act is the cornerstone for much of the funding for senior citizen programs.
