Employee of the Quarter!

Martha Buckley has received the Employee of the Quarter

at the Alois Alzheimer Center!

Martha began her relationship with the Alois Alzheimer Center volunteering in the Activities Department while attending high school. Upon graduation, she went to UC and later pursued a career in retail management with the Nautica Company. She was successful and happy for six years but, felt like she wanted to do more and wanted to make a difference. Martha reconnected with The Alois Alzheimer Center, where she is certainly making a difference in the Activities Department.

Martha enjoys her job, "loves her co-workers," and feels like she is making a difference in the lives of the eldery. Martha had tears in her eyes as she described what the residents mean to her. She has found, a job that is more than "a job" - where she truly makes a difference.

Martha lives in Fairfield with her husband Chris and two sons, Ethan, 5 years old and Ryan, 2 years old.

Peraza Music Workshop Performs at the Alois Alzheimer Center!

The Peraza Music Worksop has included the Alois Center in their outreach program for the past 4 years. This is an annual event that residents and staff look forward to with much anticipation!


Students from the Peraza Music Workshop entertained residents, family members and staff with a beautiful violin concert. Along with the classics, students picked up the pace with upbeat "fiddle" selections.

We send our sincere thanks and appreciation to the students, staff and families for sharing the talents of these gifted children and look forward to seeing them next year.
