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!

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.
