It's a real problem in South Florida too. To find proper medical and mental health programs for Medicare and disability clients to get help. I thought I would be able to get better info/help on AARP, but not so. I guess they are all waiting on us to get sicker and die. Less elderly to help. New immigrants are coming every day to take our place.
