Welcome to The Senior Zone. This featured broadcast aired Monday, June 16th. Here’s what was served on our uniquely senior-friendly menu:

It’s officially Protect Week in the great state of Maryland, running from today — Monday, June 16th — through Friday the 20th. And what better place to kick it off than right here on The Senior Zone?

Protect Week is all about awareness — shining a light on the abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation that too often targets our older loved ones. But knowledge is power, and today’s show is loaded with information to help protect you and those you care about.

Today’s powerful lineup includes:

Tony Salazar, Commissioner of Financial Regulation with the Maryland Department of Labor;
Lynn McCamie, Program Manager of the Baltimore County Ombudsman Program;
Ted Meyerson, longtime advocate with AARP Maryland; and
Jilenne Gunther, Director of AARP’s national BankSafe Program.
