Tenth anniversary 'Dinner with the Docs' to raise funds for critical programs for senior residents

FALLBROOK – The Foundation for Senior Care will host it's 10th anniversary 'Dinner with the Docs,' a masquerade gala on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Pala Mesa Resort. The annual event is held to help raise funds for critical programs available to seniors who reside in the Fallbrook area.

The Foundation for Senior Care provides four vital programs locally, one of which is the Senior Care Advocate.

"Through this program, we help seniors navigate the Medicare/Medi-Cal system, complete forms for doctor's visits, and much more," said Dotty Metcalf, executive director of the Foundation.

"So many concerns and questions start to invade our thoughts as we age, but who can someone call?" said Metcalf. "Their children, but then parents don’t want to bother them, right?" Metcalf said that's why the Senior Care Advocate program is a great solution.

"Whenever seniors find themselves in need of assistance – whether it is for transportation, understanding their medical issues, or making their home safer for them, we can assist them with the resources they need to age gracefully and try to remain in their homes," said Metcalf.

The Foundation for Senior Care is not funded by the government. It operates on private donations, estate bequests, and corporate sponsors.
