Attached is our updated Vendor list that includes, among other exciting entries, an unlicensed electrician recommended by Carla McLean. You might want to review the list to see if there are any folks you want to add or remove.
I’ve attached information about a service, Clara, that focuses on helping older adults navigate their Medicare Advantage plans and access benefits they’re already entitled to. It’s free to use – we’re trying to use technology to make healthcare manageable for everyone. Also, it’s not too early to think about open enrollment if you’re not happy with your current plan. See the Vendor list for people who can help you with decision-making.
