Medford Leas offers fraud prevention planning seminar including safety tips for seniors

The registration deadline for this event is Friday, Oct. 20.

Fraud prevention has become a very popular and important topic over the years. The thing that not many realize about fraud prevention, is that it really begins with organization. Life can become cluttered at times, but it is crucial that household documents avoid the clutter at all costs.

Guests are invited to join presenter and CEO of Assistance for Seniors (AFS), Patricia S. Morton, in learning about the different ways one can keep or dispose of their “stuff” and still prevent fraud.

The Organizational Planning Seminar will take place on Monday, Oct. 23, at the Medford Campus Theater at One Medford Leas Way, in Medford. The planning session will run from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and is free of charge. The registration deadline for this event is Friday, Oct. 20.

Patricia S. Morton and her AFS staff have been offering their assistance to clients for over 20 years. Their services include daily money management, bookkeeping, medical advocacy, and coordination of services for personal and household assistance. Morton and her staff are devoted to helping individuals keep not only their independence, but also keep their piece of mind.

This Medford Leas Planning Seminar will teach guests how to efficiently take control of all the important documents that they have accumulated. Whether it is family documents,

household records, financial records, or tax records, Morton will have the answers to any organizational question.

During the session, guests will be instructed on what documents to keep and what documents to shred. Morton will give participants a timeline for how long to keep certain documents. The skills acquired throughout this seminar will help guests create their own household inventory system and home filing system for practical everyday uses. Morton will also share her safety tips and hints to help prevent fraud and keep personal records private.
