"The entire staff is amazing. They work so hard providing my mom with security and care. She loves attending and praises the entire staff for their hard work and dedication.

OPEN ENROLLMENT for Medicare’s Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D) starts 10/15/2026 – 12/7/2026 with coverage starting 1/1/2027. It is important to re-evaluate your current coverage to make sure that you are still in the appropriate plan for your current situation. This is also a good time to see what changes your current plan may have for 2025 (increased premium, medications not covered or have a higher co-pay, etc.)

Some people may qualify for extra help such as lower or no premiums for their prescription coverage and lower co-pays or no co-pays for their medications. Ask your MMAP counselor to see if you qualify.
