In honor of our 5th Aniversary, Health & Happiness U.P. Magazine has made a 5-year commitment to additional support for a particular area of community life each year, beginning this year with Elder Care. As part of this commitment, we will be contributing money to a local Elder Care non-profit agency or project. There are many worthy candidates to choose from, so we need your help! Please tell us where you think the money should go and why by using the comment box below or emailing hhupmag@charter.net by November 1st, 2012. And please ask your friends and neighbors to weigh in too!
With thanks & best wishes,
Roslyn Elena McGrath, Publisher

How about Marquette Adult Day Services? Often overlooked for the larger, more well known agencies, this one provides caregiver relief for people caring for family members who have Alzheimer’s disease and similar dementias. Caregivers get a break, and participants have an opportunity to socialize and participate in a variety of activities. Fees are based on a sliding fee scale, and no one is ever turned away for inability to pay.
