Client Testimonials I reached out to you during the most stressful time of life for both my loved ones and myself - horror had occurred to my dear loving mother.

My mom had fractured her hip and due to her frail health and advanced age required risky hip replacement surgery. Many issues legal and otherwise arose which I could not personally resolve. You not only resolved each and every one, but you continue to do so now, over 4 years later.

You always display extreme sincerity, compassion and friendship, using your vast experience and confidence in your ability, to continually bring satisfaction, positive results and a tremendous sense of relief and comfort to my loved ones and myself.

You have gone out of your way to visit Mom on multiple occasions in her Nursing house and we love you for it. As an attorney, friend, and a great man, I could not possibly hope to know anyone more phenomenal. The three greatest men I have ever known are my dear departed father, my dear departed father-in-law and Ely Rosenzveig.

Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s® in White Plains raises $300,000 and counting The halls, the lawns, and the sidewalks of White Plains High School spilled over with people sporting purple tee shirts, hats, holding signs and banners, with names of loved ones lost or fighting Alzheimer’s disease. Sunday, September 28th, the school overflowed almost 1,500 people of all ages who joined in the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s® in a movement to reclaim the future for millions. As of press time, participants raised more than $300,000 to fund the Alzheimer's Association care, support and research programs.

U.S. Representative Nita Lowey, NYS Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins, and NYS Assembly member David Buchwald greeted the crowd and added their support for more federal research funding, and local programs, services and outreach for the devastating disease.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s participants did more than complete the 3-mile walk loop into a nearby park. They learned about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities and to support programs and services to clinical trials. The event also included an emotional tribute to those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer’s.

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk®; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s – the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. photos by Anthony Mairo

Thanksgiving is approaching and most of us are looking forward to holiday gatherings, full of delicious foods, laughter and time spent with family and friends.

Are you spending Thanksgiving with senior loved ones? Every day, but especially on holidays, is a wonderful time to let the seniors in your life know how thankful and grateful you are to have them in your life. Trust us, they will appreciate your kind words.

Your senior loved one may have gone to war to fight for our country and your rights. Or worked three jobs to keep a roof over your head and/or receive a good education.

Maybe they care for your children while you are working to make ends meet.

Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity and the right time to spend extra quality time with the seniors in your life. And, of course, cherish them.

We hope your day is special. Enjoy the food, complete with all of the trimmings, and the company of good friends and family. You have many things to be thankful for, including those special seniors in your life.

Make sure you take a moment to tell them that.

Boomers& Beyond Guide to Estate Planning

It’s unfortunate how many people believe that estate planning is only for wealthy people. People at all economic levels benefit from an estate plan. Upon death, an estate plan legally protects and distributes property based on your wishes and the needs of your family and/or survivors with as little tax as possible.

Advance Medical Directives Everyone faces the possibility that sometime during our lifetime, we may become incapacitated. This often happens when nearing death, but it can also be the result of a temporary condition. Many people assume their spouses or children will automatically be allowed to make financial and/or medical decisions for them, but this is not necessarily true. Advance directives are written documents that tell your doctors what kind of treatment you’ll want if you become unable to make medical decisions (for example, if you’re in a coma). Forms and laws vary from state to state, so it’s a good idea to understand the laws of the state where you live as you write advance directives. It’s also a good idea to make them before you are very ill. Federal law requires hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions that receive Medicare or Medicaid funds to provide written information regarding advanced care directives to all patients upon admission.

A living will is one type of advance directive that comes into effect when a person is terminally ill. A living will does not give you the opportunity to select someone to make decisions for you, but allows you to specify the kind of treatment you want in specific situations. For example, you might choose to specify that you do not want to be treated with antibiotics if death is imminent. You can, if you choose, include an advance directive that you do not wish to be resuscitated if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. In this case, a Do Not Resucscitate (DNR) order would be entered on your medical chart.

Wills A will is the most practical first step in estate planning; it makes clear how you want your property to be distributed after you die.

Writing a will can be as simple as typing out how you want your assets to be transferred to loved ones or charitable organizations after your death. If you don’t have a will when you die, your estate will be handled in probate, and your property could be distributed differently than what you would like.

It may help to get legal advice when writing a will, particularly when it comes to understanding all the rules of the estate disposition process in your state. Some states, for instance, have community-property laws that entitle your surviving spouse to keep half of your wealth after you die no matter what percentage you leave him or her. Fees for the execution of a will vary according to its complexity.

Rules When Writing A Will • In most states, you must be 18 years of age or older.

• A will must be written in sound judgment and mental capacity to be valid.

• The document must clearly state that it is your will.

• An executor of your will, who ensures your estate is distributed according to your wishes, must be named.

• It is not necessary to notarize or record your will but these can safeguard against any claims that your will is invalid. To be valid, you must sign a will in the presence of at least two witnesses. continued on next page

Estate Planning continued from previous page

Choose an Executor An executor is the person who is responsible for settling the estate after death. Duties of an executor include: • • • •

Taking inventory of property and belongings Appraising and distributing assets Paying taxes Settling debts owed by the deceased

Most important, the executor is legally obligated to act in the interests of the deceased, following the wishes provided by the will. Here again, it could be helpful to consult an attorney to help with the probate process or offer legal guidance. Any person over the age of 18, who hasn’t been convicted of a felony, can be named executor of a will. Some people choose a lawyer, accountant or financial consultant based on their experience. Others choose a spouse, adult child, relative or friend. Since the role of executor can be demanding, it’s often a good idea to ask the person being named in a will if he or she is willing to serve.

If you’ve been named executor in someone’s will but are not able or do not want to serve, you need to file a declination, which is a legal document that declines your designation as an executor. The contingent executor named in the will then assumes responsibility. If no contingent executor is named, the court will appoint one.

Write a Social Media Will Social media is a part of daily life, so what happens to the online content that you created once you die? If you are active online you should consider creating a statement of how you would like your online identity to be handled, like a social media will. You should appoint someone you trust as an online executor. This person will be responsible for the closure of your email addresses, social media profiles, and blogs after you are deceased. Take these steps to help you write a social media will: • Review the privacy policies and the terms and conditions of each website where you have a presence.

• State how you would like your profiles to be handled. You may want to completely cancel your profile or keep it up for friends and family to visit. Some sites allow users to create a memorial profile where other users can still see your profile but can’t post anything new.

• Give the social media executor a document that lists all the websites where you have a profile, along with your usernames and passwords.

• Stipulate in your will that the online executor should have a copy of your death certificate. The online executor may need this as proof in order for websites to take any actions on your behalf.

Review Your Estate Plan Once you’ve completed a will, it’s a good idea to review it from time to time, and consider changes if: • The value of your assets change • You marry, divorce or remarry • You have a child • You move to a different state • The executor of your will dies or becomes incapacitated or your relationship changes • One of your heirs dies • The laws affecting your estate change

Who qualifies for a Life Insurance Settlements or an Advanced Benefit Loan?

At B & M Capital Inc., we advise on the various financial benefits of selling or taking a loan against your life insurance policy either through a life settlement or an advanced benefit loan. When we speak to individuals or professionals at seminars and conferences, they are amazed to learn how old the life settlement industry, about 100 years, and how many financial institution own or invest in this type of business.

Yet, the greatest misconception in educating potential clients and professionals is, who are the people that qualify for a life settlement or advanced benefit loan? The answer to all of them is anyone who has obtained the age of 65 or older. They must be of retirement age, not necessary retired. They can still be actively working; actually, some of these people are still active members in the work force.

The point that I am trying to get across is, today’s seniors are very different than what society shows us or what we perceive in our minds.

Seniors, who are looking for other financial sources to find income or raise fund do not have to be hospitalized, terminally ill or destitute.

There are many seniors who take advantage of our services that are in generally good health and financially sound.

Here are some reasons why seniors take advantage of our services:

1. They are outliving their retirement funds due to the advancement in medicine, change in life style,

and the cost of living in the Northeast. Most seniors that live in the tri state area, enjoy being close to the greatest City in the world and do not want to leave. They have made friends, families, memories, and built a life that is unique to the Northeast. I know this to be true because; this is what I was told by my own parents, who were not born in this region.

2. Seniors are still very shrewd investors. Once I explain to seniors

how much value their life insurance contract could be possibly worth.

They are quick to act. First we start with basic underwriting requirements and we submit the necessary paperwork. No cost to my client, a potential offer is then offered by a top-tier financial company. In a three to four week span, my clients are amazed on how easy and financially rewarding this type of transaction can be.

B & M Capital is a structured settlement company specializing in the purchasing of life insurance, annuities, structured settlements and offering Advanced Benefit Loans.

Alzheimer’s Disease: The warning signs More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's today, with another person developing the disease every 68 seconds. By 2050, the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple.

As if those numbers weren't staggering enough, consider this: Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 (it's currently ranked No. 6) in the United States that can't be prevented, cured or slowed down.

Ask any expert, and he or she will tell you that early diagnosis is key to helping patients live better day to day, so even though the disease is still progressing, the symptoms are less harsh.

Here are seven Alzheimer's symptoms to look for: 1. Asking the same question over and over again.

2. Repeating the same story, word for word, again and again.

3. Forgetting how to cook, or how to make repairs, or how to play cards—activities that were previously done with ease and regularity.

4. Losing one's ability to pay bills or balance one's checkbook.

5. Getting lost in familiar surroundings, or misplacing household objects.

6. Neglecting to bathe, or wearing the same clothes over and over again, while insisting that they have taken a bath or that their clothes are still clean.

7. Relying on someone else, such as a spouse, to make decisions or answer questions they previously would have handled themselves.

Rather than diagnose Alzheimer's disease at home, head to your doctor's office. You can also find more information at www.alz.org, or by calling the Alzheimer's Association's 24-hour hotline at (800) 272-3900.

The Caregiver needs Support too

By Viviana DeCohen Being a Caregiver can be quite exhausting and stressful. Every Caregiver is not always prepared for their role. Some were on the verge of ready because of an announced illness, and already had their mind wrapped around the idea, others became Caregivers suddenly because a spouse passed away leaving another ailing partner that required immediate assistance. Still others, are not family members at all but friends who were given Power of attorney who received a phone call during the night that thrust them into the sudden role.

Caregiving requires assistance and may include a “Circle of Support or Care Circles” states Collette Phipps, LMSW, Deputy Executive Director of The Westchester County Department of Senior Program and Services.

These circles which include neighbors and friends, can increase wellness of both Caregiver and the person receiving the care, and reduce isolation amongst other benefits.

First, getting information on the illness will give you better insight as to the dietary and physical needs of the person. Making a list of those needs will allow you to address the things that you are able to assist with. Do not be afraid to include neighbors, friends, places of worship and clubs and organizations that the person being cared for once belonged to, you would be surprised who is willing to assist, even a former shopping partner.

Remember to see to your own medical appointments, your health is important.

Eating properly and exercising will allow you ample energy and better coping skills. Know when to take a break and enjoy a day or evening out to avoid burn out.

There are Caregiver support groups, Caregiver Coaches, and seminars all over the county where you may attend and share your feelings or just listen and pick up a few tips. If the person that you are caring for is a wanderer, then call project LifeSaver, Melody Keel for the tracking bracelet that allows the safe return of every user. It will give you peace of mind. If you are a Caregiver support group and would like to host “Tea Time Talk” for your group, call Melody Keel to schedule.

Whatever supportive services that you are in need of, from Adult Day programs to prepared meals ready for delivery, you are just a phone call away.

When you find that you want to fill in a day or two with in home care, consider our Adult Nanny Care that will come in and allow you the much needed break that you deserve, free of guilt and with peace of mind. Our in home Companions and Homemakers will care for the needs and provide an activity to be enjoyed for the day.

Ballroom dancing therapeutic and uplifting for

Alzheimer’s patients As soon as the music comes on, Judy Simon sees shoulders move, eyes open and feet tap.

The room awakens.

It’s amazing what ballroom dancing can do for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

“It’s very exciting to see.

It’s actually fascinating,” said Simon, an administrator for A&J Home Care, Inc., which serves Putnam and Westchester counties.

“You can see everyone is more alert, everyone is more responsive. They exhibit elevated moods and are engaged in the process. It’s wonderful and so rewarding.”

Simon teaches the ballroom dancing class three days a week at The Kensington in White Plains. She and her colleague, Brenda Moynihan, helped bring the program to A&J about a year ago. A&J provides aides to the home, to independent and assisted living facilities and to hospitals and nursing Homes in Putnam and Westchester.

Simon said she was moved to bring ballroom dancing to A&J after seeing the success of Northern Wetschester Hospital’s music therapy program, which addresses varied physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs. The program, for patients of all ages, has run on and off since 2010 thanks to private donations from the community.

Since its inception four years ago, more than 1,300 patients have participated in NWH’s Music Therapy Program, with many reporting improvements in levels of pain, anxiety, and mood.

The medical staff has also observed enhanced individual responsiveness, socialization, attention span, and focus. North

Salem residents Paul Shaffer, who’s served as David Letterman’s musical director for nearly three decades, and his wife, Cathy, are donors to Northern Westchester’s program.

“As a musician, I’m aware of the healing properties of music,” said Paul Shaffer. “I’ve been fortunate enough to play my piano in hospitals, in prisons, and after natural and man-made disasters. I’ve seen first-hand how music can calm, soothe, and help in situations one would have thought impossible.”

Several studies suggest that ballroom dancing may lower a person’s risk of cognitive decline. They may also improve the quality of life that dementia steals from Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones.

“I believe that the Arts play a significant role in the process of healing and this has been proven in what ballroom dancing offers to those with Alzheimer's disease,” Simon said. “It enhances one’s life socially, physically, mentally and emotionally in a safe environment.”

According to reports from Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), about 35.6 million people live with some type of dementia. ADI expects this number to triple by 2050.

Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating loss of brain function, is the most common type of dementia.

Not only does it cause memory problems, but it also affects thinking, behavior, and personality.

The Alzheimer’s Association and other groups continue to fund research into the development and progress of dementia.

This is where ballroom dancing comes in, and the research is

encouraging. Ballroom dancing, piano playing, crossword puzzles, and other mental activities appear to keep dementia at bay.

According to a two welldocumented studies -- the Bronx Aging Study and the Religious Orders Study -- activities that challenge the mind may prevent or delay the onset of dementia in older adults.

“It’s so fun,” Simon said. “The whole floor has a ball, patients, nurses, everyone. We are just so happy to be a part of this.”

ATTORNEYS AT LAW Many Years of Experience Protecting the Legal Interests of the Elderly & Special Needs Populations

Why should I spend money hiring attorneys to do asset protection planning for me and my loved ones?

Currently, the monthly cost for nursing home care in New York ranges between $10,000-$15,000, and properly certified home health attendants (nurse aides) can cost as much or more for round- the-clock home care. Statistically, it is likely that most people will need either or both of these care options as they grow older. It is critical that you plan appropriately to best minimize the strain that elder care costs may have on your estate, and to help put you in the best position possible to qualify for benefits that are largely covered by the government, under Medicare or Medicaid.

Our firm has attorneys with extensive experience in developing tax-effective action plans for our clients that help protect their assets from government imposition. We have also been very successful in negotiating the complex bureaucratic minefield in which Medicaid is now mired. We have achieved remarkable results for our clients on a host of Medicaid related issues, from obtaining Medicaid approvals for coverage of home care and institutional care benefits, to very accommodative resolutions of Medicaid spousal recovery claims, where the office of Medicaid aggressively pursues the non-institutionalized (i.e., or “community”) spouse for Medicaid benefits provided.

Why should I have a lawyer prepare my will?

If you die without a Will, the law, not you, determines how your assets are divided and to whom they are given. A poorly drafted Will may result in a sizeable chunk of your assets not ending up where you want them to go. We are an experienced law firm that can expertly craft your will to address your long-term care, tax, estate planning, and asset protection planning issues. It is in your best interest that planning be done properly so as to minimize the tax burden on your estate.

FSW Awarded Three-Year $902,064 Grant for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Initiative Family Services of Westchester, Inc. (FSW) has been awarded a three-year grant by the federal Administration on Aging to strengthen Westchester’s ability to serve adults with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers.

The overall goal is to reduce the disproportionate access to services that currently exists in Westchester and to improve the County’s ability to serve all those in need. “We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to expand access to needed services as the number of County residents affected by these illnesses continues to increase,” said Susan B. Wayne, FSW’s President/CEO. “We’re excited to partner with the Alzheimer’s Association, the Department of Senior Programs and Services, Arc, Fordham University, Burke Rehabilitation Center Memory Evaluation and Treatment Services and others to develop a system of care to meet the County’s needs.”

INDEPENDENCE

The $902,064 grant will allow FSW to: 1) Replicate in southern Westchester FSW’s award-winning social model adult day program, My Second Home; 2) Provide respite, training and support to caregivers of those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and have or are at risk of ADRD; 3) provide outreach, gatekeeper training and ADRD education to residents of southern Westchester, and 4) offer advanced training in behavioral symptom management and expert consultation to Westchester ADRD caregivers. “The timing is fortuitous as we move closer to the anticipated opening of our new Lanza Family Center for All Ages in White Plains,” added Ms. Wayne. “This new multi-generational site was conceived as a means to serve residents of southern and central Westchester who did not have access to our program in Mt. Kisco,

| DIGNITY

| CHOICE

|

so we are delighted that it will be a part of this more comprehensive effort to expand access to care.” The Lanza Center is currently under construction and scheduled to begin operations early in 2015.

Time to switch?

Are you satisfied with the Medicare coverage you’ve got? Do you know what your options are?

Confused by all the mail and the insurance statements over the last several months? It may pay to check!

October 15 until December 7 is Medicare Open Enrollment. This is when you are free to switch coverage for the next calendar year. Whether you have Original Medicare with a Medigap (supplement) plan and Part D prescription k plan, or a Medicare Advantage Plan, this is the time to reevaluate your needs.

What would be a reason to switch?

If you have Original Medicare with a Medigap supplement and Part D: • Has your financial condition changed requiring you to evaluate the less expensive option of an Advantage plan?

• Has the company providing your Part D coverage removed any of your drugs from the formulary? Or have they raised your drugs to a higher, more costly tier?

• Have any of your expensive drugs gone off patent this year, allowing you to get a less expensive Part D plan?

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan: • Has your health changed requiring expanded, more flexible coverage?

• Have any doctors or hospitals opted out of your current plan?

• Has your plan removed any of your drugs from the formulary, raised their cost or moved them to a more costly tier?

Medicare.gov is excellent for evaluating Advantage Plans and part D Prescription drug plans. The site allows you to search for the best plans available to you considering the medications you currently take. Many seniors, however, are not adept at navigating it.

There’s a solution!

Senior Benefits Information Centers, available at 10 library locations and through a county-wide helpline, are available to walk each individual through their options – online, in-person, and one-to-one. And if you or someone you know will soon be new to Medicare, these counselors will assist you with the thorny web of considerations required to plan for enrollment. Two library locations are in Port Chester and New Rochelle.

Counselors are trained volunteers with the Westchester Seniors Out Speaking program. In addition to Medicare guidance, counselors provide information about different types of government programs, including federal and state financial assistance programs, and county-wide benefits.

To find library locations and times, or to leave a message with our Helpline, call 914.231.3240 or visit http://www.westchesterlibraries.org/senior-benefits-information-centers/.

Make sure you get your senior discounts on

Black Friday has become a sport, with savvy shoppers jockeying for position on long lines in front of stores, trying to find a great deal.

Enter the Black Friday game changer. That would be you: As a senior, you qualify for discounts that average consumers do not get.

Many stores, restaurants and services offer discounts for seniors. Some businesses make their senior discounts very apparent, while others do not publicize them at all.

Make sure this holiday shopping season you ask! Some discounts start for people as young as 50, so always double check if the store (restaurant, hotel, etc) your at has a senior discount.

There are plenty of senior discount directories online that you can check out, including www.seniordiscounts.com.

If you can’t remember all of the discounts out there, always ask! Even if there is not a traditional senior discount, some might still make an exception and give you a small portion off just because you asked. So make sure you cover your tracks and take full advantage of your discounts on Black Friday and every day!

Five reasons seniors should volunteer Volunteering is one of the best ways for people to give back to their communities, whether they're helping plant a public garden or tutoring students after school.

Seniors frequently enjoy this act of kindness, as it provides them with many benefits that are crucial for their health.

It helps bridge the generation gap Seniors who volunteer have a unique opportunity to work with and assist younger generations — and learn from them, too.

It helps change the way people think about older adults By using their talents and skills out in the world in a variety of ways, seniors demonstrate that they are active, involved and essential to a healthy community.

It is good for mental health and can help prevent Alzheimer’s The National Institute on Aging has reported that participating in social leisure activities and meaningful, productive activities such as volunteering may lower the risk of health problems in seniors, including dementia, as well as improving longevity.

It helps prevent senior isolation and depression In addition to getting seniors out of the house and into the community, volunteering has a positive effect on psychological wellness: according to the Corporation for National and Community Service, those who volunteer experience greater life satisfaction, a sense of purpose and accomplishment, more stress resilience, and lower rates of depression.

It promotes healthy physical activity Volunteering can be good for keeping the body active, whether you’re building houses for Habitat for Humanity or walking around your favorite museum as a volunteer docent.

Maintaining a healthy level of physical fitness as we age helps ward off disease, injury and even dementia.

How to Lower Your Risk Making modest lifestyle changes can help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in people who are at risk. Here are some tips.

Reach and Maintain a Reasonable Body Weight Your weight affects your health in many ways. Being overweight can keep your body from making and using insulin properly. It can also cause high blood pressure.

Waist Measurement. In addition to weight, the location of excess fat on the body can be important. A waist measurement of 40 inches or more for men and 35 inches or more for women is linked to insulin resistance and increases a person’s risk for type 2 diabetes.

This is true even if a person’s body mass index (BMI) falls within the normal range.

Seniors & Diabetes

Here are more tips for eating well with diabetes.

• Make a diabetes meal plan with help from your health care team.

• Choose foods that are lower in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and salt.

• Eat foods with more fiber, such as whole grain cereals, breads, rice, or pasta.

• Choose foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, bread and cereals, and low-fat or skim milk and cheese.

• Drink water instead of juice and regular soda.

Be physically active • helps you lose weight • controls your cholesterol and blood pressure • improves your body's use of insulin.

Many people make walking part of their daily routine because it’s easy, fun and convenient. But you can choose any activity that gets you moving. It’s fine to break up your 30 minutes of exercise into smaller increments, such as three 10-minute periods.

Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

The risk of developing diabetes increases with age — nearly 11 million seniors in the United States have the condition.

That's more than a fourth of all people in this age group.

In comparison, just more than 8 percent of all Americans have diabetes.

Equally important, living with diabetes means facing an increased risk of complications as you grow older — complications that can affect your heart, vision, hearing, and more. However, there are steps you can take to reduce these risks and protect your health in the years ahead.

Prevention The two most common forms of diabetes are type 1 and type 2.

Currently, there is no way to delay or prevent type 1 diabetes.

However, research has shown that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed in people at risk for the disease. Preventing type 2 diabetes can mean a healthier and longer life without serious complications from the disease such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and amputations.

Benefits of Weight Loss and Exercise The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a landmark study by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

DPP researchers found that adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes were able to cut their risk in half by losing a modest amount of weight and being active almost every day. This means losing five to seven percent of body weight (that's 10 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds) and getting 150 minutes of physical activity a week.

The drug metformin reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes by 34 percent but was more effective in younger and heavier adults.

A customized hearing healthcare solution will be identified by our New York State licensed and certified audiologist that will address you hearing loss and lifestyle needs. Our digital hearing devices cover the entire spectrum of hearing impairments. They will help you hear and communicate better with those around you.

Most of our hearing devices come with an industry leading 4 Year Warranty. We are, also, one of the only area providers of Lyric, the first and only 100% invisible, extended wear hearing aid (worn up to 3 months!).

So, why don’t you give us a call at 914-253-9160 to schedule your complimentary hearing consultation and begin your journey to hearing like a PRO! Do you ever have difficulty hearing or understanding speech in restaurants?

At parties or family gatherings? Do you feel that people are mumbling all the time? Is the volume on your television creeping up? Is telephone conversation sometimes difficult to understand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a strong possibility that you may have some degree of hearing loss. It has been shown that if a hearing loss is present, a person has to struggle to hear speech.

Undue stress is put on that individual. This stress can have a negative effect on a persons quality of life. It can cause that person to avoid many social situations.

This, in turn, can cause that person to become more isolated. Over the past 15 years Westchester Audiology and Hearing Aid Specialist, P.C. has been helping people hear and communicate better by providing superior healthcare to their patients.

We are excited to announce the arrival of our new standard 4-year warranty!

Our wide selection of styles, capabilities, features and colors ensure that your hearing needs will be met, and our warranty gives you the protection that you deserve.
