In 2023, The Senior Alliance once again set the bar high with an outstanding year of service and achievement. Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the community, we reached new heights in providing essential services to seniors.
In our latest blog, we delve into the specifics of this success, exploring the substantial progress made across various programs, including case management, meal deliveries, health care assistance, and much more. Join us as we reflect on these milestones and celebrate the profound difference we’ve made in the lives of older adults and their families.
We celebrated one of our employee’s upcoming retirement at a recent staff meeting.
Debbie Parker has been with us for almost 5 years and will be retiring in February.
This is what Debbie had to say after the celebration:
“Thank you all for the well wishes and the celebration with the cake and card. It was unexpected and very much appreciated. TSA is a great place to work and wish I had found TSA earlier in my career. I will miss all my co-workers because you are a great team and wonderful individuals. Keep up the good work!!” On behalf of everyone at The Senior Alliance, thank you, Debbie, for all of the hard work that you have done.
You will be missed here at TSA.
What drives you (to volunteer)?
Our nation’s aging population is growing rapidly, with more and more people living longer lives with less money available to them. And today, with our nation experiencing the highest inflation rate in 40 years, the aging population is especially vulnerable.
Many count on Meals on Wheels to provide for their most basic needs.
Meals on Wheels volunteers are essential to caring for our community’s most vulnerable. Sign up now and help us make a difference in Wayne County.

Congratulations to our Star Performer of the Month, Patty Burns.🌟
Here is what her manager, Gail Wejrowski, had to say about her:
“Patty is truly an extraordinary member of our team. Her dedication shone brightly during our CQAR audit, where two of her participant records were reviewed, and impressively, the auditors had no criticisms or follow-up requests – a very rare accomplishment.
Patty’s exceptional talent in handling challenging cases with a positive spirit, sharp critical thinking, and deep understanding of the Waiver program is admirable. Beyond her direct work, she’s an inspiring mentor, having guided three new social workers over the last year with great success.
We’re incredibly lucky to have someone as remarkable as Patty in our department. She is truly remarkable!”
Congratulations, Patty.
Annual enrollment for Medicare Part D is a critical period from October 15 to December 7, 2023, during which aging adults and their caregivers can make changes to their Medicare plans or explore additional assistance programs to better suit their healthcare needs.
The holiday season is a time of joy, giving, and celebration, but unfortunately, it’s also a time when scammers are more active than ever.
1 in 7 older adults in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity. On the holidays when traditional food delivery services are not available, aging adults in our community count on The Senior Alliance to provide a hot meal.
