Elder abuse has no place in our community.

This World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, Sourcewise is committed to educating, supporting, and advocating for older adults across Santa Clara County and beyond.

Together, we can ensure every older adult feels safe and respected. 💜

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Shred & Protect: Free Drive‑Thru Event for Seniors & Caregivers! We were happy to see so many of our community members joined us to safely dispose of sensitive documents and take proactive steps to guard against identity theft and Medicare fraud.

Events like this remind us of the power of coming together - with creativity and innovation - to meet real community needs. By offering accessible, drive‑thru services, we’re proud to continue finding new ways to support and protect those we serve.

A special thank you to our partners at the Senior Medicare Patrol, Corodata, and our team members from Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) for making this event possible and for your ongoing commitment to fraud prevention.

We look forward to continuing to serve our community with impactful, thoughtful events and programs, stay tuned for what’s next!

As a community, we can all participate in Medicare Fraud Prevention Week!

Start by looking out for your older neighbors and community members. Many people have helped prevent a scam simply by asking a well-timed question.

We can all play a part in preventing Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse, this Medicare Fraud Prevention week and every week!

Families, take part in Medicare Fraud Prevention Week by talking to any older adults in your life about Medicare fraud and how to remain protected. Wondering how to begin the conversation? Start by sharing the following tips:

✅ Protect Medicare numbers like they would a credit card number
✅ Review statements for errors and miscellaneous charges
✅ Opt out of unsolicited mail

Taking simple steps can greatly reduce the risk of scams. For more support regarding Medicare, meet with one of our Medicare counselors to receive free, unbiased Medicare counseling. Call (408) 350-3200, option 1 to schedule.

Caregivers: Help protect your loved ones and clients during Medicare Fraud Prevention Week!

Watch for red flags like free durable medical equipment (DME) and remind loved ones never to share their Medicare number or personal info over the phone. If fraud is suspected, contact your local Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) (855) 613-7080 for help.

Before May comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to honor the rich history, cultures, and contributions of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.

Here in Santa Clara County, this celebration is especially meaningful: 40.6% of our community identifies as AANHPI as of the 2022 census.

This month and every month, we recognize and celebrate the diversity that makes our community stronger. 🌏✨
