Autumn Trace Invites Community To Free Scam Prevention Talk Aimed At Protecting Seniors

BEDFORD — Autumn Trace Senior Community will host a free scam prevention presentation next month aimed at helping seniors and the broader community recognize and avoid common fraud schemes.

The event is scheduled for 2 p.m. Feb. 11 at Autumn Trace in Bedford. Bedford Police Detective Justin Dodd will lead a 30- to 45-minute presentation focused on identifying scams, avoiding becoming a victim, and understanding what steps to take if someone has already been targeted. A question-and-answer session will follow.

“Scam prevention is a critical issue, particularly for seniors,” said Tammy Bailey, community relations director at Autumn Trace. “We want to make sure our residents and the local community feel secure and informed.”

Those include a funeral pre-planning presentation at 6 p.m. on March 5 with Brooke Hayes of Day & Carter Mortuary; fall prevention from 10 a.m. to noon on April 21, presented by IU Health; and a Virtual Dementia Tour at 2 p.m. on May 6, presented by the Rural Dementia Network.
