A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about services for older adults.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Michigan AAA Network - Senior Services Navigation (1-800 Elder Care) program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Age 60+; no income requirement for navigation, Michigan residents?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Mon-Fri 9am-8pm ET. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
