Stillwater Senior Savings
As we age, we might acquire more wrinkles, wisdom, and a few grey hairs—but one thing we can collect is savings! After all, saving money is like wine: it gets better with age, and if you keep it corked, it might just become a vintage! Here are some great local deals for seniors —and remember, the only thing better than a senior discount is a senior discount on top of another senior discount! Cheers to aging gracefully and economically!

This episode is a must-listen for caregivers and families seeking to foster comfort and connection.
If you notice changes in friends, family or others close to you and are concerned for their health — particularly when it involves changes in memory, thinking or behavior — it can be difficult to know what to do or say. Although it's natural to be uncertain or nervous about how to offer support, these changes could be a sign of a significant health concern.
