Orlando Seniors Enjoy “Medicare 65 Birthday Party” at Oakmonte Village
On Firday, May 21, 2010 area seniors joined SHINE program volunteers at Oakmonte Village for a birthday party – a party to celebrate those who will soon be turning 65 and joining the Medicare program as well as many who have already celebrated their 65th and were seeking updated information on Medicare.
The SHINE program, Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders is a program of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. SHINE Program Liaison, Heather Fogle, MSW and her team of volunteers were available to not only provide information on Medicare but review existing health insurance coverage plans of those in attendance in an effort to ensure they were receiving all available benefits.
SHINE volunteer, John Vassallo gave an informative presenation entitled ”Medicare 101″. Information included an overview of Original Medicare, Medigap Supplemental Insurance, Medicare Advantage and other plans, Prescription Drug Coverage, How to get extra help with drug costs, Enrollment periods, and Medicaid.
Helping John was program volunteer coordinator, Geri Harris and volunteer Sally Mitchell as well as several other SHINE volunteers.
Oakmonte Village’s own Chef Rolf Nettesheim created an exquisite chocolate and peanut butter birthday cake for the occasion. It was scrumptious and enjoyed by all!
