Today

A woman is critically hurt in an assisted living fire near Washington.

Good morning. The hardest news today comes from North Kensington, where a fire broke out at an assisted living facility. A woman was rescued but is critically injured. Several local stations are reporting on the same event, and details are still coming in.

There is also good reason to stay alert this season. Officials are warning about Medicare enrollment scams, so it helps to be careful about anyone who calls asking for your information. On the money side, remember that your 2027 Social Security raise is announced in October and the Medicare Part B change comes in November, with both first showing up in your January deposit.

Elsewhere, a nursing home and its executives agreed to pay one million dollars over billing complaints, and police reported a shooting at a senior home in South Los Angeles. Together, these stories are a reminder to watch your safety, your mail, and your money.
