Bengal's Day at the Alois Alzheimer Center!

Residents, families and staff all enjoyed the Annual Bengal's Day with a special appearance from "Who Dey!" The Cincinnati Bengal's have many fans at the Alois Alzheimer Center and team spirit was evident by all the jerseys, hats and othr team items worn by staff and residents. Who Dey was welcomed to a sea of orange and black- and he barely noticed a stray Browns, Packers or Colts jersey!

Alois Alzheimer's Center's Writing Circle

The Alois Center is again grateful to Annette Januzzi Wick and Leigh Edison for facilitating the writing circle, where resident's have a venue to express thoughts in an engaging and open atmosphere. Recently residents wrote about teddy bears, recalling stories of a favorite stuffed animal that they or their children adored. Sharing tales of where those bears are now, or how the bears were lost, was both poignant and comical!

Ice Cream!

Ice Cream and a ride on a beautiful summer day!















Do you ever just need to "get out of the house?" Residents at the Alois Alzheimer Center enjoy many different outings in the community. One of the favorites includes a stop for ice cream and a ride around town. Residents enjoy each other's company while reminiscing about favorite local landmarks or parks or the changes in the season.
