Goshen County Senior Friendship Center

05/04/2026

We are trying to establish a Senior Service District in Goshen County to help us continue to provide services and stabilize our funding. This initiative will appear on the Primary Ballot on August 18. We are holding a series of Informational Town Hall meetings so that you can learn what this will do and ask questions! The meetings will be held at the senior centers in the following locations:

Lingle Tuesday, May 5 at 11:30
Torrington Wednesday, May 6 at 10:00 and 12:30
Yoder Thursday, May 7 at 11:30
Torrington Thursday, May 7 at 7:00 pm
LaGrange Friday, May 8 at 11:30

We hope that you will come and learn so that you can make an informed vote and get answers to questions you have!

Seniors are being cautioned to not fall for a new Medicare scam aimed at taking their money and identity. Medicare is advising anyone who receives a "new" plastic Medicare card in the mail to be aware that it is fake.

The cards look official. They are laminated, glossy and sometimes are even stamped with a convincing looking hologram image. Many seniors trust documents that look official and scammers know it. But the main point to remember is Medicare does not issue plastic cards; they use paper only.

Scammers send out plastic cards because they look more “official” than the real paper ones, making the Medicare card scam easier to believe. The letter or insert usually claims you must “verify your identity” to activate the new card. Once you call the number, the scammer asks for your Social Security number, Medicare number, or banking information.

It doesn't matter if it's a phone call or a letter in the mail, it's a scam. The Senior Medicare Patrol cautions seniors to NOT call to verify, but to call Wyoming's SMP to report the fraud. That phone number is: 800 856-4398.

Today is "Slam the Scam" day! Help protect all those who might be vulnerable to scammers. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Check with someone you trust before you send money or gift cards to anyone. Never share your personal banking, Social Security, or Medicare information!
