Townehall Place
Family Fun Open House Townehall had our Family Fun Night Open
House on 4/18/19. Our Culinary team hosted a delicious meal with
lasagna as our featured item. We had a full house yesterday and a
lot of fun. Our current and new residents were recognized as
Townehall Founding Club Members and were given Townehall Sherpa
Blankets. We also recognized 2 current residents with $1,000 each
for referring 2 residents that moved into Townehall Place. All our
residents, families and guest played a few games of BINGO led by
our Activities Director, Michelle! It was another fun evening of
making more wonderful memories here at Townehall Place of West
Bloomfield.
May Birthdays
In astrology, those born May 1–20 are Bulls of Taurus. Bulls are
stable, reliable, patient, and determined. They will work hard and
finish the job no matter what gets in their way, but they expect to
be rewarded! Those born May 21–31 are Gemini’s Twins. Twins seem to
have two personalities and can blend into any situation. They have
an energetic and fun-loving side that is the life of the party but
also a deep and emotional side that needs love and nurturing.

Elder Fraud: How to Recognize (and Avoid) Scams at Any Age
Do you know anyone who has been affected by elder fraud? Seniors
are certainly not the only people who fall prey to scams and
schemes, but they are attractive targets for fraudsters—for a
number of reasons: They often own their homes, have a nest egg of
savings, and are more trusting of strangers than younger
generations. Plus, elderly fraud victims are frequently reluctant
to admit they've been scammed because they are ashamed or fearful
of being seen as incapable of managing their own affairs.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people of all ages get
duped by cunningly deceitful con artists. And according to one
study, nearly one in 20 adults over age 60 have been financially
exploited at some point in their senior years. However, by arming
yourself with information and being aware of common scams, you can
take steps to avoid becoming an unfortunate statistic
