What Do You See When You See Me Competition

What Do You See When You See Me's Mission

Our mission is to empower seniors with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to navigate aging with confidence and security. A key focus is fraud prevention, helping seniors recognize and avoid scams such as Medicare fraud, identity theft, and phone scams. Through workshops, seminars, and our Fraud Watch Hotline, we provide practical guidance to protect seniors and offer immediate assistance when concerns arise.


Beyond education, we provide one-on-one support and advocacy for Medicare enrollment, insurance policies, and medical billing. Our advocates assist seniors in understanding complex processes, making phone calls, and organizing documents. For homebound seniors, we coordinate home visits with healthcare providers and community groups, ensuring they receive essential assistance with mail, telehealth appointments, and medical follow-ups.


Recognizing the importance of digital literacy, our Tech Mentor Program trains seniors to use smartphones, telehealth portals, and social media safely. Through small-group workshops, we teach video calling, secure browsing, and recognizing online scams, helping seniors gain confidence while reducing their vulnerability to cyber threats.


We also foster community and peer support, organizing regular gatherings where seniors can connect, share experiences, and learn about topics like fraud prevention, caregiving, and healthcare innovations. Our peer mentorship program encourages trained seniors to support others, creating a sustainable network that combats isolation.


Through strategic partnerships, we collaborate with healthcare providers, local governments, and advocacy groups to expand access to quality care, provide input on senior-focused policies, and secure grants that enhance fraud prevention and digital inclusion.

To measure our impact, we track participation in workshops, one-on-one coaching, and community programs. By gathering feedback and monitoring fraud prevention success rates, we continuously adapt our initiatives to meet evolving needs, ensuring seniors stay informed, protected, and connected. At our core, we are committed to empowering seniors with knowledge, advocacy, and lasting support for a healthier and more independent life.


What Do You See When You See Me?

A Movement to Honor and Support Those Who Serve Our Seniors


“What Do You See When You See Me?” is more than a contest.

It is a movement dedicated to recognizing, celebrating, and uplifting the caregivers, advocates, professionals, and everyday heroes who dedicate their lives to supporting seniors.


Across communities, there are countless individuals working quietly behind the scenes to ensure seniors receive the care, respect, and dignity they deserve. This initiative exists to shine a light on those efforts and amplify the voices of people who serve and protect our aging population.


Why This Movement Matters

Our seniors have spent their lives building families, careers, and communities. Their contributions have shaped the world we live in today.


Yet many seniors now face challenges that often go unseen — navigating complex systems, dealing with financial stress, health concerns, and feelings of isolation.

They deserve more than sympathy.

They deserve real support, real solutions, and real advocacy.

This movement encourages communities to come together and ensure seniors are never forgotten, overlooked, or left to face these challenges alone.


Honoring the People Who Show Up for Seniors

This initiative recognizes the individuals who dedicate their time, energy, and compassion to helping seniors thrive, including:


  • Caregivers
  • Nurses
  • Healthcare professionals
  • Insurance agents
  • Senior advocates
  • Clergy and faith leaders
  • Community leaders
  • Volunteers
  • Parents caring for aging parents

These individuals often work tirelessly without recognition, yet their work changes lives every day.

This movement exists to celebrate their commitment and acknowledge the impact they make.


Supporting Real Solutions for Seniors

Beyond recognition, this movement helps fuel critical services that seniors need to live safely and independently.


Support generated through this initiative helps expand resources such as:


  • Fraud prevention and protection
  • Transportation support
  • Technology assistance for seniors
  • Direct communication support with real people, not endless automated phone systems
  • Community-based solutions that provide guidance and advocacy

These services help ensure seniors receive the support they need with dignity and respect.

How To Nominate Someone or Be A Nominee

Nominations

We are promoting the "What Do You See When You See Me Competition" to honor seniors, caregivers who perform their responsibilities and then some with excellence, and those caregivers who have recently lost their jobs due to economic changes. The aim is to fund essential support services, fostering a spirit of mutual care.


By supporting us, you support yourself. No one truly knows what tomorrow will bring, but change is inevitable. Together, we can ensure our seniors—who are too often overlooked—don’t become an endangered population. They’ve paved the way for us, and now it’s our turn to safeguard the wisdom and experience they bring to our communities. Let’s stand together and protect one of our most valuable resources, honoring them through compassion, engagement, and the recognition they deserve. Nominate yourself or a colleague in our “What Do You See Me?” Competition, and help us bring hope and tangible support to those who care for seniors every day.

We Must Look Out for One Another
Healthcare, assisted living, senior advocacy—these missions thrive on collaboration. We’ve shared a model that ensures fraud prevention, in-person support, technology training, and peer-to-peer connections for our aging community. Now it’s time to turn those ideas into action by rallying around our caregivers.


Step Up and Take the Spotlight
You (or the colleague you admire) deserve recognition for the compassion, dedication, and innovation you bring to seniors. Nominate yourself or someone else who’s gone above and beyond to bridge the gaps in service.
