It is against the law for anyone from a Medicare plan
to come to your house, unless you invite them. If someone comes to your
door, or calls to make an appointment with you, and you didn't invite
them to your house, do not let them in and report them immediately to
Medicare (1-800-447-8477), or the Bureau of Insurance (1-800-300-5000).
They are breaking the law..

"Like most people, we want to stay in our own home as long as possible. SeniorsPlus is a great help to us in accomplishing this. At a very arthritic 89 and with an ailing husband, the service is an absolute godsend to us."
