FINANCIAL ISSUES AFFECTING SENIORS

Special Guest: 

The Honorable Valerie Ervin, President 

Montgomery County Council

 

This free forum on Wednesday, March 23rd from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the Charter House, 1316 Fenwick Lane, Silver Spring, will be moderated by Stuart Rosenthal, Publisher, Beacon Newspaper.  He will lead a discussion with experts from Maryland’s Long Term Care Ombudsman program, attorneys in the field and the County’s State’s Attorney’s Office and the Office of Consumer Protection.  

”Over this last year, our Office of Consumer Protection has seen a dramatic increase in complaints involving issues that adversely affect the lives of County seniors,” said Council President Valerie Ervin. “We look forward to having an opportunity to discuss consumer protection issues with our residents to identify additional ways we can assist our seniors. The Office of Consumer Protection provides a tremendous service for our residents, and I am happy to support their work.” 

The forum will address a number of topics including the financial exploitation of seniors, differences among long term care facilities, identity fraud basics and legal issues. 

Pre-registration is not required but is recommended as seating is limited. Sign language interpreter services will be provided only upon request with notice as far in advance as possible, but no less than 72 hours prior to the event.
