Make plans to attend or call 525-4963 for additional information. A recent call reported an individual identifying himself as being 'with' Senior Services and requesting a home visit to talk about finances and living trusts. When the homeowner mentioned someone from her family should be present for the meeting, she never heard from the caller again. Neither Senior Services of Northern Kentucky nor Cincinnati Area Senior Services offers such a service. Older adults should be wary of unscrupulous individuals and the havoc they can reap on their hard-earned savings.
Callers can identify themselves as affiliated with any reputable charity.
Always request the information be mailed to you, so that you may look it over at your leisure. Don't be pressured into giving because someone just happens to be in your neighborhood in the next few hours or minutes. Many older adults need work done on their homes and spring is an ideal time to go ahead with those repairs. Always get several estimates before permitting a contractor to begin a job and demand a contract. Read the contract or have someone you trust go over it with you and then a quick call to the Better Business Bureau is always a good idea.
