FLORENCE R. KLEIN
“Over the past several years I have heard an increasing amount of disheartening stories of scavengers and scam artists taking advantage of seniors. My frustrations lead to the vision of starting a company that would serve the everyday needs of the ever-growing group of seniors in the world today, as well as protect them from scams. So, I reached out to the professionals in the areas of healthcare, finance, retirement living, etc., with the idea of creating an ultimate resource guide for seniors. I received a warm reception from many, and received offers from those who were eager to help.
Then, with the popularity of the web, it was clear that this most pertinent resource should be published on the Internet, and MySeniors.com was officially founded.”
