Guard your Medicare card. Donā€™t give your Medicare number to anyone over the phone. Donā€™t text it. Donā€™t use it to sign up for ā€œfreeā€ offers. Saying no is the best defense against scammers.

ā˜€ļø The Alabama heat is here, and you can help a local senior stay cool this summer!

Through Fans for Life, a partnership between SARCOA and The JOY FM, we are collecting box fans and small air conditioners throughout the summer to provide relief to older adults across the Wiregrass.

A donated fan may seem like a small gift, but it can make a big difference during the hottest days of the year.

Help us keep our neighbors safe, comfortable, and cool by dropping off a fan at SARCOA or The JOY FM or donating via the link below.

June is Alzheimerā€™s & Brain Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, support caregivers, and remind families facing dementia that they are not alone. At SARCOA, we understand the emotional and physical challenges that come with caring for a loved one experiencing memory loss or cognitive decline.

Thatā€™s why caregiver support and education remain an important part of our mission. Whether you are newly navigating a diagnosis or have been caregiving for years, support is available, and connecting with others who understand can make all the difference.

Itā€™s Medicare Fraud Prevention Week!

The most effective way to stop Medicare fraud from happening is to prevent it in the first place. For situations you can't prevent, learning how to detect potential fraud, errors, and abuse is very important.

If you find something concerning on a Medicare statement or accidentally give out your Medicare information, report it! Don't hide it and don't be ashamed. Scammers are really good at what they do and the SMP is here to help.
