“I was overwhelmed by paperwork. It was a huge relief to get assistance managing my financial affairs and coping with the complexities of Medicare.”

Morton was always proud of his ability to manage his own finances, but he had to admit that things were out of control. “I was overwhelmed by paperwork,” he said.
