SPONSOR OF THE MONTH

Freddie Felder noticed changes in his wife’s behavior in 2018. As her condition slowly deteriorated, Freddie sought answers.

Finally, doctors diagnosed Cynthia, Freddie’s wife of 55 years, with a form of dementia. As Cynthia’s lone caregiver, Freddie was at a loss for how to care for his wife into an uncertain future.

Freddie sought help from Senior Connection Center, Inc., and received a referral to Empath LIFE (Living Independence for the Elderly), a new program from Empath Health. Cynthia was approved to join the Empath LIFE program in March, two months after the program opened.
