Shine Representative at the Senior Center

MASS SENIOR ACTION METRO NORTH WELCOMES NEW SHINE REPRESENTIVE AT MALDEN SENIOR CENTER
When many Seniors in the Malden Area and our Senior Group had trouble getting a Shine representative to furnish needed information on the confusing Medicare D plan and the Commonwealth secondary insurance PRESCRIPTION ADVANTAGE our board contacted the Mystic Valley Elder Services Executive Director Dan O’Leary (a MSAC member) to address the Problem and agreed to make an effort to improve the situation. We also made a visit to the Director of Elder Service Christine DePietro and on finding out that the problem was an issue
affecting Seniors at the Center we sought a solution.
We thank Christine DePietro for taking action and getting one of her staff (Kelly Chancy) to become a Shine representative.
“She will be participating in 50 hours of training to council elders, providing them with unbiased health information” according to the director of Senior Center.. “in to-days confusing HEALTH CARE options world, a confidential one and one meeting is necessary to make the best choice for you and your income”. Kelly will be taking appointments here in the Senior Center.
Mystic Valley Elder Services are looking for additional Volunteers
