The short answer: Four free senior expos are coming up in Florida this November: Orlando on November 2, Jacksonville on November 4 and 5, Hollywood on November 9 and Sarasota on November 17. They bring dozens of local businesses and organizations under one roof, and several offer free health screenings and prize drawings. They are a good place to collect information in the weeks before Medicare Open Enrollment ends on December 7.

How to Get the Most Out of an Expo
- Bring a short list of questions about Medicare, home care, housing or costs.
- Bring a bag and a pen, and write down names and phone numbers as you go.
- Remember that exhibitors are businesses. Many want to tell you about their services. It is fine to take a brochure and say you will think about it.
- Protect your numbers. You do not need to share your Social Security or Medicare number to enter a drawing or pick up information.
- Do not decide on the spot. Compare options at home, or ask a free counselor to review them.
