The Township of Neptune Senior Center celebrated with its members and community friends last night, Thursday, October 25, 2018, with an informational gathering on the subject of Medicare and Medicare Open Enrollment. It was the first ever evening presentation held at the Center. For those Township members who are still in a full-time work mode, this session was conveniently held from 6 to 7:30 pm. If there is one thing that we ALL know is that our world is in a constant state of flux….EACH AND EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO BE FULLY INFORMED OF THEIR OPTIONS! The Township Committee and the members of the Senior Center Staff are committed to help educate all of its Senior residents with information to help them make important life decisions.
The presenter Samantha White from Children and Family Services gave a basic Medicare Primer as well as changes in Medicare for 2019 and Open Enrollment timeframes. State Health Plan Counselor Addie Mestrich was on hand to speak with attendees that had specific questions. The Center will work to help set up evening appointments for participants
Participants thanked Center for holding the session and volunteered how it helped them get information that is more difficult to obtain because similar sessions are often held during the business day. They asked if the Center planned to hold more sessions like this. Based on the attendance and need requests of the attendees the answer is YES!
