For the last several years, Sebring Lodge has sponsored the Walk for Memories, hosted by Change of Pace, an adult daycare and activity center for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other memory care needs. On July 16, the lodge donated $250 from the charity bingo account to the Sam McKissock Sponsorship Fund, which is used to help caregivers cover the cost of daycare for seniors. At no charge, caregivers can drop off the senior citizens in their care at the center for the day to socialize and do activities with other people their age. This frees caregivers to do errands or go to appointments that they can’t do while caring for a senior citizen. The Change of Pace staff also offers support groups for the caregivers.
