We are so blessed to have found Eskaton Adult Day Health Center where we know Mark is, without doubt, valued, encouraged and cared for. The generous help from Eskaton Foundation allows Mark to be part of this incredible place of respect and friendship. While he is there, our family is encouraged and supported and able to continue on with our work and school obligations. The center’s care for their clients impacts the whole family and the community at large. We are so grateful.” – Mark’s wife Did you see the movie [***Still Alice***](http://sonyclassics.com/stillalice/)? Early onset [Alzheimer’s Disease](http://www.alz.org) affects an estimated 200,000 Americans. This could be your husband, father, or son. How would you pay for care if a loved one was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease? #EskatonFoundation is helping vulnerable seniors like Mark who cannot afford all the care they need through its Adult Day Health Scholarship Program. You too can help by making a #[GivingTuesday](http://www.givingtuesday.org/) donation. #80days4seniors [Click here to join our online event](https://www.facebook.com/events/901336376618291/#_blank).         ### Share This Post! - - - ## Get in touch!
