MedicAlert Awareness Month Are you a diabetic? Are you allergic to penicillin? Do you require certain life-saving medication in an emergency? Do you wish to invoke a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order under certain situations? MedicAlert can tell the doctors caring for you what they need to know. A medical ID can save precious time in diagnosing the reason for the emergency. It can also clue doctors in on any allergies the wearer has before administering medication or first aid. NATIONAL SENIOR CITIZENS DAY On August 21st, National Senior Citizens Day recognizes the achievements of the seniors that have impacted our lives and those who have already given so much. The day provides an opportunity to show our appreciation for their dedication, accomplishments, and services they give throughout their lives. Changing demographics due to improved healthcare have enabled our older citizens to contribute more years of productivity than ever before. This has allowed many to seek second careers and serve as role models for the younger generations. Their valuable contributions to our communities create better places to live. For all that they have done, we owe our seniors our thanks and gratitude. Creating a healthy home care environment for our clients is our goal! If you or your loved one are in need of daily living assistance, 24 hour care, hourly care, or transportation services we are here to help. Call us for your free assessment and personal service plan that fits your needs & schedule. Executive Director - Laurie Teator 815-354-8977
