Alzheimer's Awareness

NOVEMBER IS ALZHEIMER’S AWARENESS MONTH


Every 70 seconds, another American family is affected by Alzheimer’s



Alzheimer’s is a complex neurological disease that is the most common form of dementia.  More than 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s and more than 10 million are caring for a loved one with the disease.
Many of us here at Fisher Center Foundation know the devastation of Alzheimer’s firsthand.  Our families, like yours, have had to make so many difficult decisions about a loved one’s long-term care, financial assets and both physical and mental health.  Dealing with Alzheimer’s is not an easy task and, because Alzheimer’s affects each sufferer and caregiver differently, there is never one right way to cope.
As we honor our loved ones this November, Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we would like to offer you the opportunity to arm yourself with the best information on Alzheimer’s disease.  A better understanding of the disease can prepare you for the road ahead.  We have also revised our Caregivers Corner to include up to date information that will help if you are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s.  We hope that you find the information useful and that you gain a better understanding of this disease.
A great way to honor those you love during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month is to make a donation in their name.  Donate Online to make Alzheimer’s nothing but a memory for everyone.
Thank you for visiting ALZinfo.org and we hope that you have a happy and healthy November.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is approaching and here at Senior Benefit Services, we’re very appreciative of those who have served this great country of ours. 

The SBS family would like to take this moment to thank the 20.4 million veterans and the 1.3 million active duty members this Veterans Day. 

We were curious about the origins of Veterans Day and thought you might be too...
Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. holiday to honor the end of World War I. In 1938 United Sates Legislation approved Armistice Day, a day “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day." In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, Congress amended the Act of 1938 by removing the word Armistice and inserting the word Veterans. Veterans Day honors military veterans with parades, speeches, and other celebratory events across the nation to honor and celebrate those who have served.

Senior Benefit Services would like to recognize and thank our team members, Tom and Brett, for their service to our country:

Tom Weislocher






Tom was drafted during the Vietnam War and served in the United Sates Army from 1970-1972. Tom was a Spec4, radio and radio-teletype operator, cryptographic communications specialist.  Tom was stationed in Vicenza, Italy, and had the opportunity to return on a bicycle tour in 2011 and reconnect with the country and old friends.




Brett Winter





Brett enlisted in the Navy in 2008 and is currently enlisted in the Navy Reserves. Brett is 2nd Class Petty Officer. Brett worked as a Plane Captain and assisted pilots in takeoff and landing, and repaired planes. Brett has worked several air shows, and has performed maintenance on the Blue Angels Fleet. Through the Navy Brett has been stationed in New Orleans, Guam, and several other locations including Naval Air Station Fallon also known as “TOPGUN.”




Thank you for all you have done for your country, families and the SBS Family!
