Senior Scams

Hello, Welcome to the Evolve Senior Solutions, LLC blog by A RN: Disclosed also known as  Danielle Harris . Welcome to Spring 2018! Today’s blog post is in regards to scams. I felt the need to write this blog about scams, because with the warmer weather, sometimes the people doing these scams present themselves because they want money to do activities in the warmer weather. I am an advocate for protecting seniors from scams. To protect seniors from scams, the most important key is being aware. Aware that they exist. Aware enough to be suspicious. Another key is to stay involved, many times scammers target neighborhoods, so if your neighbor tells you about some interesting opportunity that magically appeared then you will have the heads up before the scammer gets to you.

Let’s Celebrate! 🎆🎈🎉 What are we celebrating? We are celebrating - National Family Caregivers Month!  I want to take this time to recognize and honor family caregivers across the world; Thank you for your time, dedication, sacrifices, and love. ⌚🎁👍 I have come to realize many caregivers, have issues identifying whether they are a caregiver or not. So, what is family and what is a caregiver? The following definitions come from Merriam-Webster: Family - a group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation; a group of individuals living under one roof and usually under one head; a group of persons of common ancestry – this to me indicates that family includes paid, unpaid, blood related, and non-blood related persons – for myself as a RN and Care Manager, I see family as whoever the patient says his or her family is.  Caregiver - a person who provides direct care; a person who gives help and protection to someone – so in some way shape or form, we al
